Greetings from New Zealand Polk student shares experiences from AFS exchange year
Editor’s note: The following was written by Anders Krarup, a junior at Polk County High School currently on a one year AFS high school exchange in Timaru, New Zealand. Broadening your horizons isn’t exactly the easiest thing to do. I’ve been living in New Zealand for the past two months, and I’ve already had a lot of great experiences, but there have also been some difficult times as well. (Continued on page 3)

You really have to get used to your surroundings before you actually become comfortable. Just because New Zealanders speak English doesn’t mean it’s anything compared to what I’m used to in America. As a matter of fact, it’s very different over here, you can only imagine – it’s on the complete opposite end of the hemisphere. New Zealand is a very ‘British’ oriented culture, as the original settlers (aside from the Maori native islanders) came from England. Although New Zealand isn’t governed by England, they still view the King and Queen (currently the Queen) as their own, and of course the Royal Wedding was a huge deal. All of the girls wanted to see the princess’ dress and all the guys (Continued on page 4)

wanted to see the smooch. One obvious difference in New Zealand that reflects the British heritage is that all schools require uniforms, with the exceptions of a few seniors in certain schools who aren’t required to. I wasn’t one of those so fortunate. The uniforms look sharp but are quite a nuisance to equip yourself with in the mornings, especially considering I’m one of the ‘rush scene’ morning types of people. I have been enjoying attending Timaru Boys High School, and am taking a spectrum of classes. I am currently enrolled in English, Maori, physics, statistics and drama, with the addition of a study period, which all seniors are granted (‘study’ is a pretty loosely used name). My Maori and drama class have probably stood out more than any for me. In my Maori class we participate in a Kapa Haka, which is more or less a traditional Maori dancing and singing group. We perform shows with other schools at various events. I quite enjoy the Kapa Haka. Also in my drama class we
were covering a Shakespeare section, and another boy and I did a two-man skit at a competition from the “Merry Wives of Windsor” play. We didn’t win the competition, but we did win best connection award, however, which I am still quite proud of. Recently I have been filling my time outside of school with running and after-school clubs. I joined the wrestling team, am doing small bore shooting (target shooting) and am soon to be volunteering at the community gardens. Unfortunately, over the holidays, I managed to get a green stick fracture in my wrist, which was silly because now I can’t do any of that stuff for about another month. New Zealanders, or Kiwis, as they prefer, are very outdoorsy people. My host dad, for example, runs a lifestyle block (a very popular style of housing in New Zealand which is very selfsustainable based) in which he runs 30 cattle. They have three goats as well as a heap of chickens, which they call “chooks.” He has also been a hiker since his very young days, going out on 10-day hikes ever since he (Continued on page 6)

was in high school and younger. We go on many hikes together and we also go fishing together. He is an avid angler, but only for recreational fishing. It is very common in New Zealand to meet people with such appreciation for nature. New Zealand has two very special government programs that I have encountered that really stand out to me. One of them is DOC, or Department of Conservation. They are more or less responsible for the myriad of well-groomed hiking trails available to hikers, as well as the huts along them, which you can camp in (some huts cost as much as 2.4 million dollars for a 30-man hut!). Personally I have been “tramping,” or hiking, along several of these trails and have come face-to-face with absolutely breathtakingly beautiful views from many different elevations. I have already been tramping around Mt. Somers (where I saw some of the locations used to film “Lord of the Rings”) and some of the valleys in the Southern Alps mountain chain. DOC also provides many local fishing spots, along with managing many other outdoor locations available to the public. Another popular program in New Zealand is the ACC, or Accident Compensation
Corporation. They give money to people who have accidents. This was nice because I broke my wrist not long ago and it was covered by the ACC. Over my first term holidays my host family took me on a trip up through Kaikoura (which is where my host sister lives), up to the Marlborough Sounds and back around the west coast, passing through the Haast pass and coming back home to Timaru. In Kaikoura I got to go deepsea fishing, where I got to feed some fish, which in turn, then fed me as well. In the sounds we visited my host dad’s sister and her husband. The sounds were some of the most beautiful areas I have seen in my life. Through the west coast we stopped along many places and took lots of walks. So I got to see a lot of the bush, and several glaciers as well, which were spectacular. I got many good photos, which I look forward to showing all my mates back at home. New Zealand has been treating me well. Editor’s note: Krarup’s program is partially funded with a scholarship from the Polk County Community Foundation. For more information about the local Polk County AFS call 828863-4020. AFS is currently looking for host families for young students from foreign countries, who will attend Polk County High School.

perform legal services with Crill on May 10. Crill’s agreement said his normal rate is $450 per hour, but for Polk County’s engagement he will charge $395 per hour. The agreement is for Crill to provide advice to Polk for the hospital’s certificate of need application, to prepare the resolution for the county for the hospital’s certificate of need application and to provide general advice to commissioners concerning county owned hospitals. According to Parker Poe’s website, “John Crill practices in the area of health law, municipal law, tax-exempt financing and nonprofit corporations. For more than 25 years, Mr. Crill has represented hospitals and medical practices. He serves as general counsel to several hospitals and physician practices and has considerable transactional experience involving joint ventures, mergers and the sale and acquisition of health care facilities and medical practices. Mr. Crill regularly attends hospital board meetings and advises boards on governance matters. In addition to his health care experience, Mr. Crill represents cities and counties, as well as public hospitals, on various aspects of municipal law, including tax-exempt financings.” Crill graduated with a B.A. degree from Allegheny College in 1964 and graduated from Duke University with an LLB in 1967. Commissioners held a special meeting on Tuesday, May 10 and gave their approval on the hospital’s certificate of need application, which is required to be approved by the state before the hospital can go forward with its addition. The county’s approval was needed because the hospital leases the property from the county. Hospital officials say they need the county to deed the property back to the hospital in order to use the asset to finance part of the expansion.

CEO Ken Shull met with commissioners Tuesday and reviewed some details of the project. Shull said the expansion project includes replacing six inpatient beds and constructing a space for therapy. The hospital chose to expand its orthopedic services first, Shull said, because it has the most shortcomings. The hospital currently leases space for outpatient therapy and plans are to bring all therapy services in the hospital with the addition. The addition is planned to go on the left side of the hospital and will be 15,000 square feet. Plans are also to add a geriatric courtyard to the right side of the hospital. (See drawings on pg. 11.) The addition will include larger patient rooms and handicapped-accessible restrooms and showers. Shull said in current rooms, patients are unable to get out of the bed on both sides and have trouble getting (Continued on page 10)

McDermott’s statement on St. Luke’s Hospital request Editor’s note: Following is a statement read by Polk County Commissioner Renée McDermott regarding a request by St. Luke’s Hospital for the county to deed the hospital property to the hospital in order to obtain financing for a $6.5 million expansion. At some point the board of commissioners will need to address St. Luke’s Hospital’s request that the hospital building and the land on which it sits be donated to the hospital. That decision has not been made yet, either by the board of commissioners as a whole or by me. That decision must await thorough research of the facts and the law. Nevertheless, I have heard from a number of people that they have been told that I have already made such a decision and that I am in favor of donating the building and grounds to the hospital. I have not made any such decision. If you have been told that I have already made such a decision, your source is either badly misinformed, or he or she is intentionally telling you something that is untrue. -Polk County Commissioner Renée McDermott

county has recently moved services out of the aged Jervey Palmer building and is expected to vacate the building by the end of October. A new department of social services is currently being constructed in Mill Spring and the county has agreed to purchase a house owned by the Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry in Columbus to house mental health services. Other services, including the senior center, were also moved out of the Jervey Palmer building after the county purchased the former Carolina Classical School off Skyuka Road near Columbus. The current hospital’s assessed tax value is $11,391,253, according to county tax records. St. Luke’s is a non-profit organization. Polk County in recent years has donated $285,000 to the hospital with economic development funding after the hospital lost money for several years. Hospital officials say the hospital is in much better financial shape currently and partnered with Carolinas Healthcare System to manage the hospital. Carolinas Healthcare does not run St. Luke’s, but helps manage the operations. The county’s resolution approved on Tuesday includes language saying the county will not be held responsible for any funding of the addition (see resolution, pg. 8). Commissioner Renée McDermott noted the clause in the resolution on Tuesday and also read a statement regarding recent rumors that indicate she plans to grant the hospital the deed to the property. McDermott said neither she nor the board has made a decision and that decision must await thorough research of the facts and the law (see statement on pg. 10).
Proposed Site Plan
Above and below: Architect’s drawings of the proposed addition at St. Luke’s Hospital, phase one. The addition is shown to the left of the main entrance, and a planned geriatric courtyard is shown on the right. In order to obtain financing for the addition, St. Luke’s has asked Polk County, which owns the hospital property, to deed the property to the St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation.

Fox tests positive for rabies The fox that bit two Green Creek residents on Sunday, May 8 tested positive for rabies, according to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office and the Polk County Health Department. This is the first confirmed case of rabies in an animal in Polk County this year. An officer with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office notified the Polk County Health Department nurse on Monday, May 9 that a fox had bitten a man and a woman on Chesnee Highway in the Green Creek area. The fox was captured and the head was sent to the N.C. State laboratory for rabies testing. OnWednesday, May 11, Polk County animal control officers notified the health department nurse that the fox did test positive for rabies. The people that were bitten had already begun receiving treatment to prevent rabies. The Polk County health director and Polk County animal control staff advises residents to be sure that their animals are under their direct control. Animals that are allowed to wander or run loose are at a greater risk of coming into contact with rabid animals. If your pet is exposed to a rabid animal and its rabies vaccinations are not up to date, the pet will have to be euthanized or placed in a strict veterinarian-supervised

Cash’s Climb to Conquer Cancer raises $4,200 for Gibbs Cancer Center Survivorship Program by Barbara Tilly
On Saturday, May 7, John Cash held his third Climb to Conquer Cancer, which raised funds for the Lance Armstrong Foundation and the Gibbs Cancer Center in Spartanburg, S.C. In addition to funds for the Lance Armstrong Foundation's fight against cancer, which went directly to the foundation, this year's event raised $4,200 for the Gibbs Cancer Center's survivorship program. Cash called the event a big success. “We’re blessed to live in the most generous, caring community in the world,” he said.
Cash rode his bike ten times up and down the Saluda grade section of Hwy. 176 in six hours and one minute. He was joined on all ten trips by George Meyer of Campobello. Ken Cook, Terry Hudson, Orville Harris and many other riders from the area joined Cash for at least one trip. Each ride started and ended at the Tryon Youth Center, where sports memorabilia, original artwork and other items were sold in a silent auction. Franklin McKaig also prepared pizza for sale at the Tryon (Continued on page 14)

of the unborn child, medical risks associated with an abortion and birth and alternatives to an abortion. Supporters of the bill, which the judiciary committee passed by a 9-5 vote along party lines, said it will ensure that women have the medical information to make an informed decision. Opponents of the bill said it creates psychological obstacles to limit a woman’s choice. Currently, North Carolina is one of 16 states in the country that don’t require specific counseling before an abortion.

which includes six golf course developments in the Carolinas, borrowed $62 million last year from property owners in the developments. The money was needed, the company said, to complete projects in the developments. The Greenville News reported last month that Anthony was negotiating with a lender to avoid foreclosure on some Cliffs properties. *** Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) has started sending out layoff notices to 739 teachers, librarians, counselors and other workers in the school system because of budget cuts. The school system also is notifying 338 other workers that they will be reassigned. Administrators, along with some other support personnel, will be notified separately of layoffs. The staffing changes for the 2011-2012 school year are part of $100 million in budget cuts. The school board voted last November to close 11 schools in the district and consolidate some others. After hearing from many concerned parents, the school board voted this week to ask Mecklenburg County for an additional $50 million to avoid some of the cuts. The county has not yet made a decision on the funding. CMS, which is also waiting to hear about school funding from the state level, has faced significant layoffs in each of the past three years.
*** The N.C. Senate voted 50-0 to restrict corporal punishment in the state’s public schools. The bill, which now goes to the N.C. House, would let parents tell school administrators that they do not want corporal punishment used if their children misbehave. Parents could make their wishes known in writing at the start of the school year. North Carolina is one of 19 states that allow corporal punishment, although fewer than 20 of the state’s 115 school districts still use it as a form of punishment. The school districts still practicing corporal punishment are in rural districts in the southeast and west areas of the state. The state required school districts last year to report corporal punishment data for the first time. The figures showed there were 1,160 cases of such punishment across the state. Robeson County schools had the highest number with 296 cases. Current law allows a teacher or principal, under the observation of a witness but no other students, to paddle a student as punishment. The N.C. legislature passed a law last year to let parents of disabled students opt-out of such punishment. The bill under consideration this year would extend that option to parents of all students.

No major issues with former Tryon Federal buildings

To the Editor: The former Tryon Federal Bank buildings we bought a few years ago are for sale, and we don’t know of any major problems or issues with the buildings. There was an recent article written with comments by someone trying to buy the buildings implying problems exist; we are not sure if this was an attempt to buy the buildings for less or just misinformation – no reports have been ever been produced to this effect. There are usual and typical issues that come with historic properties of course. While we wish we had been able to address these comments before they were printed, we realize that it is not always possible. We feel these buildings are not only well constructed, but they are the axis of Tryon. We are proud of these buildings and their location in the beautiful Town of Tryon. We believe in Tryon, as many do, we also believe better days for the area are on the horizon, and this property is a very good place to begin. It is a well-known fact that activity and enthusiasm are contagious. We wish to redevelop these buildings as soon as possible. Remarkably, we are searching for additional properties in the

town to raise the total size of a redevelopment project to a level that meets certain loan and funding requirements we are shy of meeting at this time. We are currently investigating the viability of the Adams Millis project and hoping to find others. While the current economic problems have not passed over our business, we have options available through joint ventures, Chapter 11 Re-Organization, and sale of the property in part, or as a whole. We have had so much interest in the buildings it is hard to imagine a solution is not forthcoming. We remain flexible and truly hope to progress the property soon, and to avoid placing the property into a Chapter 11 Re-Organization situation that could hender the redevelopment for a few more years, we are exploring this option now for better understanding. We are willing to place the buildings into a joint venture or solid investment holding to progress their redevelopment. We would like to note that the Town of Tryon officials and local businessmen Justin Hembree, Crys Armbrust, Doug Arbogast, Allan Pruette and Bill Miller with which we have spoken to in the past weeks have all been helpful and knowledgeable to our efforts. We would like to invite any comments or suggestions; our phone number is 704-219-2230, and our email is mccraysmith@ carolina.rr.com. –– McCray Smith, president of Cray, Inc. in the southeastern sky during early morning hours before the sun rises.

Landrum changes process for appointing fire dept. officials by Samantha Hurst
Landrum Council approved May 10 a new process for the selection of fire chief and fire department officers. “The appointments have to be approved by a governing body such as the council and so we have not in the past been in compliance with state statutes. We’re changing that now so that the appointments will be brought before council,” said Landrum Fire Chief Jimmy Flynn. “We still wanted to keep some of the ownership with our members so they will vote on the selections and then we will present them to you all for approval.” Flynn said the position of chief would be selected on a twoyear term. The various officer positions will be set on staggered terms, with some serving three years and others serving two years before coming back up for a vote. City administrator Steven Wolochowicz said this would allow for continuity even if the person in the chief’s position were to change. Wolochowicz said if there were any disagreement in selection of officers, he would work with membership and the chief to create a list of potential nominees

Brae’s clinic.” “What do we tell them?” they asked. “Don’t worry, I’ll contact them before you get there, just tell them to bill her care to Uncle Lennie’s fund. If it’s okay with you, from that point on, she’ll be my responsibility.” “Thank you,” they responded in unison. I took Snowy’s face in my hands and gave her a final kiss, then headed toward Bonnie Brae as I figured out how to rearrange my schedule. When I arrived, Angel Mitchell was in surgery but Dr. Ian Fitch spoke with me. He assured me they’d look into it and would call me when she arrived. I asked if they would give her whatever tests and medicines she may need
and please x-ray her leg. “No problem, Lennie. We’ll call when we have results.” “Thanks, Ian,” I replied “And say hello to Angel.” Two days later, Wendy, the staff leader, called and said they had the x-rays and prognosis on Snowy for me. “Thanks, Wendy, I’ll be right over.” Over the years, not only the vets but their staff also have become valued friends. When I arrived Angel was with a client so I went in to sit with Snowy as I waited. Snowy was still shaking from all the confusion but was very gentle and accepting as I laid her head on my lap and spoke to her. “Sweet girl, I know you’re confused, but I promise whatever can be done on your behalf will be done. Another good friend, Randy Grobe has also
been contacted on your behalf. You’ll like him.” For the first time, a glimmer of trust began showing in Snowy’s eyes and I welled up in tears. Angel came in as we were speaking and upon seeing us she also fought back her own tears. “She’s sweet, isn’t she?” Angel said. I just nodded as I left her cage to look at x-rays. Angel explained the cause of her deformity and said it’s too late to do anything for her. “She isn’t in any pain,” Angel went on. “She knows how to put weight on it.” “Can we do anything for her, Angel?” “I’m afraid not, Lennie, any further surgery would be intrusive, expensive and most likely would do more harm than good.” “Will she be all right?” I

asked. “Oh, yes,” Angel replied, finally smiling. “She’ll probably be arthritic later in life but that also can be controlled to keep her pain free.” I hugged this dear friend of mine and then burst out, “Why are people so dumb?” Again Angel said, “She’ll be fine, Lennie.” Realizing I was preaching to the choir, I went in to kiss Snowy once more and left. Please check out this magnificent girl, as with all my kids, she deserves a better fate than what she’s had thus far. I haven’t any doubt she’ll be a wonderful, loving and loyal companion for years to come. In the meantime, she’ll have to put up with Uncle Lennie and all the super people whose care I’ve placed her in. Thanks for listening.

The work of America’s 3.1 million registered nurses to save lives and to maintain the health of millions of individuals is the focus of this year’s National Nurses Week, celebrated annually May 6 - 12 throughout the United States. This year, the American Nurses’ Association (ANA) has selected “Nurses: Trusted to Care” as the theme for 2011. Annually, National Nurses Week begins on May 6, marked as RN Recognition Day, and ends on May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, founder of nursing as a modern profession. Traditionally, National Nurses Week is devoted to highlighting the diverse ways in which registered nurses are working to improve health care. From bedside nursing in hospitals and long-term care facilities to the halls of research institutions, state legislatures and Congress, the depth and breadth of the nursing profession is meeting the expanding health care needs of American society. Today’s nurses must have the strength to care for patients during times of disaster and crisis; they must have the commitment to remain involved in continuing education throughout their careers and they must have the compassion it takes to provide hands-on patient care at the bedside – as they have done throughout the centuries. “Ruth Cantrell exemplifies the versatility and longevity within the nursing profession,” says Sandy Brooks, St. Luke’s Hospital chief nursing officer. “There are some nursing jobs that are for the young and energetic and there are nursing careers that are able to share the wisdom and experience that comes from a lifetime of serving their family, friends and neighbors throughout the healthcare continuum. There is a niche for anyone who has the passion to serve others.” Cantrell has seen her share of changes in healthcare dur-

ing her 45 years as a registered nurse. In 1948, Cantrell joined the St. Luke’s Hospital family as a second-shift nurse. Making $143 a month, Cantrell said she thought she had hit the jackpot. Cantrell had to take a leave of absence from nursing, but came back in 1966 and has been a nurse at St. Luke’s Hospital ever since. Born in Tryon, Cantrell graduated high school and continued to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta for her nursing training. She has worked in different capacities at St. Luke’s, including part-time and full-time, as well as in the operating room, as a floor nurse, in the emergency room and as a supervisor. In 1992 Cantrell became the employee health nurse, where she oversees new employee physicals, employee vaccines and on-site incidents that may occur. When asked about her desire to become a nurse, Cantrell said, “I always wanted to be a nurse. I had an aunt who was a nurse and I always wanted to be like her. I also wanted to become a nurse because I wanted to make a difference and help people.” Cantrell fondly recalls some of her favorite nursing memories. “I remember when we received our first defibrillator,” she laughs. “Everyone was afraid to use it! Now you can find one on every corner! “Over the last 45 years, I’ve

Learn the skinny on fat - bad and beneficial As a personal trainer and nutritionist, one of my most important jobs is to educate my clients. The more they know about how their bodies work, the easier it is to reach their goals. Most people come to me to help them lose body fat. They, like many people, consider body fat to be public enemy No. 1, but what I teach them is that fat actually does some really great things for us all. Adipose tissue (fat), is an anatomical term for loose connective tissue that is composed of adipocytes or fat cells. There are three types of fat, depending on its location in the body. 1) Subcutaneous fat is fat located just below the skin’s surface. 2) Visceral fat is fat buried deep in the body. 3) Retroperitoneal fat is fat
located inside the abdominal to store or release more fat, or to cavity, which also contains vis- secrete chemicals that influence appetite and the body’s use of ceral fat. So just what good does body insulin. Now that we know some of fat do for us? Well, for starters, fat helps protect our internal the good stuff fat does for us, organs by creating a type of let’s explore some of the negacushion. Fat is also a great fuel tives.

Too much comparing it to glands like the body fat causes blood vessels to thyroid and pituitary, which also harden and clog, thereby causing release hormones straight into cardiovascular disease. Other conditions facilitated the bloodstream. Fat cells also transmit signals by too much body fat include to the brain. These cells have Type 2 Diabetes, body pain, receptors that can be turned on sleep apnea and even carpal tunand off. These receptors tell cells nel syndrome.
Also, too much visceral fat (inside the body), is dangerous, because it actually presses on internal organs. The best way to get rid of body fat is through diet and exercise. Even a 7 percent drop can add many healthful benefits. Exercise or nutrition question? Email me at dwcrocker77@gmail.com or visit fitness4yourlife.org.

Operation Christmas Child invites church leaders to share ideas May 15 The local Blue Ridge Area Operation Christmas Child team of volunteers is inviting people representing all area churches to a celebration of the 27,700 shoe box gifts collected in the 2010 season on Sunday, May 15 at 2 p.m., at First Presbyterian Church, located at 699 North Grove St. in Hendersonville. Showing a needy child that they are loved and not forgotten starts with something as simple as a shoebox. Right now, Operation Christmas Child is looking for more area churches to help fill those shoeboxes with small gifts.
Organizers say the purpose of the meeting is to celebrate the privilege of serving God through Operation Christmas Child, celebrate existing participation and to share ideas with churches considering participation, for generating more boxes. Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan’s Purse, the international relief and evangelism organization headed by Franklin Graham, has handdelivered shoe box gifts in more than 130 countries to more than 86 million children suffering from poverty, disaster, disease
and war since 1993. Although National Collection Week for shoebox gifts is Nov. 14 - 21, Operation Christmas Child is not limited to just the holidays. It is a year-round project, requiring months of organization and preparation to reach millions of kids around the world. Volunteers and shoebox gifts are needed during all seasons to help spread the spirit of giving that lasts all year long as well as the opportunity to participate actively in worldwide missionary work without leaving the area.
A small local church, which collects thousands of boxes each year, will present a short performance. Come early for snacks, meet and greet activities and lots of fellowship and fun. Anyone who has an interest in Operation Christmas Child or has been involved packing shoeboxes is welcome to attend. For more information, visit “OCC Blue Ridge (NC)” on Facebook. To RSVP, contact Marilyn Haynes at mphaynes@ juno.com or 828-696-2996. – article submitted by Marilyn Haynes

IVs! We’d boil them and let them dry. Can you imagine how dull those needles must have gotten?” Cantrell laughed at the memory. “We also had to re-sterilize our gloves,” added Cantrell. “We would wash them by hand and hold them up to a light to see if they had any holes in them. If we found a hole, we’d patch it up! We sure have come a long way from that.”
“It’s amazing to see someone provide this many years of service to an organization,” said Ken Shull, CEO. “I want to express my gratitude to Ruth for her contribution over all these years. It is such an achievement and it’s dedicated employees like Ruth who are passionate about patient care that make St. Luke’s Hospital the fantastic organization it is.” Cantrell lives in Tryon with
her husband of 61 years, Paul. She has two daughters (Linda, who works at the Clerk of Court office and Julie, an RN at St. Luke’s Hospital), a grand-daughter (Melinda) and two grandsons (Alex and Jonathan). She enjoys spending time with her family, music, reading and her dog, Willie, and cat, Sumu. – article submitted by Jennifer Wilson

Open house held at Mill Spring Fire Department May 14 The Mill Spring Volunteer Fire Department will hold an open house Saturday to show off the new addition to its main station, some new equipment and to acknowledge its citizen supporters with free food and souvenirs. Sparky the Fire Dog – who joined the department just this week – will make his debut and inaugurate a district-wide smoke alarm campaign. Doors open at the main station across from the old elementary school at 10 a.m. and close at 4 p.m. Here are some of the day’s activities: • Firefighters will demonstrate equipment and skills and new emergency equipment purchased with state and federal grants and local donations. • Chief Trent Carswell will demonstrate the lithium battery smoke alarms the department will provide as part of the fire safety program. The lithium batteries last 10 years, reducing one of the most worrisome characteristics of smoke alarms – dead batteries. • Members of the sheriff’s department will be there to fingerprint children for identification purposes and to answer questions. • Emergency Medical Technicians from the Polk County EMS squad will be on hand to demonstrate their equipment, check blood pressures and to answer questions. • Firefighters will serve free hot dogs and free bottles of water. Wives, girlfriends and members of the department auxiliary prepared sweets for a bake sale. Members of the auxiliary helped organize the event. • There will be a number of souvenirs for children – all related to fire prevention and
safety. Carswell, a law enforcement professional as well as a fire fighter, said it is important that children and grandchildren be fingerprinted. He said it is wise to have children fingerprinted every year for the first five years of their lives because their prints change as their little fingers develop. After the age of five the prints remain the same. Parents often put the fingerprint cards in a Ziploc bag and put them in the freezer for easy access in an emergency. The expansion of the main station with the addition of new parking bays, offices and a ready room, is the fruit of a four-year drive to modernize the department. New equipment includes an enclosed trailer used to replenish air packs and rehab fire fighters; new air packs; new protective clothing and the racks to store it; an off-road vehicle; an extraction system to remove exhaust fumes from the station; a heavy duty washer/ dryer system to clean protective clothing; a larger standby generator and the fire prevention/safety program, including Sparky. The alarms – with a battery life of 10 years – were purchased with a fire prevention/ safety award from FEMA’s Assistance to Firefighters Grant program. The Mill Spring department will provide and install the alarms at no charge for those who need them. The goal is to make every home in the Mill Spring district safer. Those who need the alarms will be able to sign up during the open house for the free installation. – article submitted by Charles Green

Are you confused about parasite control for your horses? Do you want the best parasite control for your horses now and in the future? Ray M. Kaplan, DVM, PhD, DEVPC, one of the top equine parasite experts in the country will present a lecture Saturday, May 21 at 6:30 p.m. Dr. Kaplan is a professor of parasitology in the department of infectious diseases in the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Georgia. He will lead a discussion about the current parasite issues facing today’s horse owners, including how to choose and when to use the appropriate de-wormer and the developing parasite resistance to de-wormers. According to Dr. Kaplan, over the past 40 years, the availability of cheap and effective anthelmintic drugs (de-wormers) has led to an almost complete

Lady Wolverines softball edges WCAA Trailblazers 2-0 by Daniel Hecht
In their final regular season game of the year, the Lady Wolverines played host to the WCAA Trailblazers. The Skyland-based team, comprised chiefly of home-schooled athletes from across Western North Carolina, brought a 15-4 record to the table and figured to provide Polk with a golden opportunity to keep their skills sharp as they prepare for the first round of the playoffs next week. From the outset, the contest had the look and feel of a classic pitcher’s duel, as Polk ace Jamie Hrobak traded scoreless innings with WCAA hurler Ashley Whitaker. With no score going into the top of the fifth inning, the Trailblazers mounted the first scoring threat. Bekah Downer, aboard on the only walk issued on the day by Hrobak, attempted to score from second on a Alexis Smith single, only to be gunned down at the plate by a bullet from Brittany Jones to catcher Alicia Lockhart. Polk’s offense notched all the runs it would need in the bottom half of the fifth. Amber Lynch led off the inning with a double, and then scored as Alyssa Montgomery stroked a sharp ground ball past the outstretched glove of shortstop Amber Whitaker into left field. Cassie Couch followed with an RBI infield single, as the alert Montgomery, running the bases with a remarkable level of softball IQ, scored all the way from second. The play gave the

Lady Wolverines the two-run lead that would become the final margin of victory. Hrobak allowed the Trailblazers just four scattered hits on the day, striking out five on her way to earning her 18th victory of the season and the 47th win of her career. Offensively, Polk was led by Lynch, who went 3-3 with two bunt singles and a double, while Couch and Jones each contributed 2 for 3 performances. “Amber Lynch had a great game today, with three hits and some great base running,”
commented head coach Jeff Wilson. “Hrobak pitched another masterpiece, and with Alyssa Montgomery coming through with a big two-out hit and a really great softball IQ hustle play to score from second, I give her all the credit for our second run.” With the win, the Lady Wolverines finish the regular season with an overall record of 18-5. As the third seed from the Western Highlands conference, Polk travels to Canton next Tuesday, May 17, to square off against the Lady Bears of Pisgah in the first round of the 2-A state playoffs.

Q. How does a family foundation work and how much money do I need to set one up? A. A "family foundation" is what the tax law refers to as a "private foundation". the usual planning technique is to have a Crt pay its funds into a family foundation created in the trust maker's will or trust. the children of the trust maker are usually on the foundation board of trustees, and their job is to decide which charities are to receive the income donations each year in accordance with the instructions left by the trust maker. What the size of your estate has to be in order to justify this planning is purely subjective, but a general standard of tax specialists is a minimum of one million dollars. People who do this type of planning most often site their reason for doing so a desire to give their children control of wealth rather than wealth outright so they can live lives of significance in addition to affluence. Call (828) 696 1811 for info on this or other planning techinques. SASS-033247

Many brand name drugs soon to go• Orchard generic Alfalfa Grass Orchard/Timothy • Fescue Dear Savvy Senior, I’ve heard that the drug Lipitor and a few other popular brand name medications will soon be available in cheaper generic form. What can you tell me? Frugal Senior Dear Frugal, It’s true. Generics for Lipitor and a slew of other brand name drugs will soon be coming down the pipeline, and the savings to consumers will be significant. Here’s what you should know. Expiring Drug Patents Over the next two years, the patents of many topselling brand name drugs will expire, clearing the path for lower-cost generics to take their place. One of the biggest is the cholesterol-lowering drug Lipitor, which earned the pharmaceutical company Pfizer more than $5.3 billion in U.S. sales last year. The patent for Lipitor ends in November, so starting on Nov. 30, 2011, generic manufacturer Ranbaxy Laboratories, will have the exclusive right to sell Lipitor’s generic (Atorvastatin) in the United States for six months. At that point, other generic drug makers can enter the market to sell it. Some other prominent drugs facing patent expiration this year include: Protonix, the popular antiacid drug which went off patent in January and is now offered in the generic format Pantoprazole; Concerta, the ADD and ADHA medicine whose patent ends this month (May); Levaquin, the antibiotic drug whose patent expires in June;
Savvy Senior and Zyprexa, the antipsychotic drug prescribed for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder which comes off patent in October.

When a brand name drug does finally come off patent, its generic substitute is usually only about 30 percent cheaper at first, but as more generic drug makers start manufacturing it, the costs can drop by as much as 90 percent. On average, generic drugs are about 70 percent cheaper than brand name medications. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, generic drugs contain the same active ingredients, dosage and quality as their
Blendsname counterparts. brand available TheDelivery differences lie in the Lance Flournoy name (generic drugs 828-894-5961are usually called by their chemical 1x1 and color names), shape (U.S. trademark laws don’t allow generics to look exactly like the brand-name AccurAte Automotive drugs).

Auto • Gas • Diesel • Truck drug, and aren’t sure if it’s 864-472-4662 • 864-621-0699 available in generic form, ask Campobello, SC you doctor or pharmacist or you can look it up online at 1x1 sites like destinationrx.com. 7/20,27; 8/3,10 If there’s not a generic counterpart for your particular drug, find out if there’s a generic option available in the same class of medications that would work for you. For example, some people who take Lipitor opt for the less-expensive Simvastatin, the generic form of Zocor. Both Lipitor and Zocor lower cholesterol. Many chains like WalMart, Target, Costco, Kmart, CVS, Walgreens and Kroger sell hundreds of generics for as little as $4 for a 30-day supply and $10 for a 90-day supply.
Savvy Tip: If you’re having a hard time affording your medications, there are drug assistance programs offered through pharmaceutical companies, government agencies and charitable organizations that may be able to help you. See benefitscheckup.org to find them.
