A third arrest warrant states that Packer communicated a threat to the victim “by telling her that he would kill her, her son and the baby (unborn).” Deputies responded to the residence of the victim and the suspect on May 10 around 10:30 a.m. after the victim called 911 from a neighbor’s home, according to reports. The suspect had left the residence prior to the arrival of deputies, the report said. Packer turned himself into the sheriff’s office on May 11 with no incident. He was charged and held for 48 hours on no bond. Packer was scheduled to go before a judicial official after the 48 hours for a bond hearing.

Polk to expand insurance for high school athletes by Samantha Hurst
Polk County Board of Education members voted Monday, May 9 to expand the system’s insurance coverage of high school athletes. Superintendent Bill Miller said the move stems from concern over many families now living without insurance. “Given the number of people that have lost their job, the number of people that have lost insurance, we felt we should at least consider increasing the level of coverage we offer at the high school level,” said Miller. School systems are required at a minimum to carry insurance to cover catastrophic injuries. This means offering coverage in the event of a student being paralyzed or dying from injuries received during school-related activities. Currently the Polk County School System carries mid-level coverage for both middle and 0tfn0COn- InDD page 50athletes through a high- school plan underwritten by Nationwide Insurance. Mid-level coverage provides, for example, $60 for an initial
physician’s visit, up to $1,200 for outpatient surgery, up to $600 for X-rays and a maximum of $800 for ambulance services (see chart on pg. 7). Under the high option coverage, 80 percent of reasonable charges are covered for physician visits, 80 percent or up to $5,000 covered for outpatient surgery, 80 percent of X-ray costs and 80 percent of charges for ambulance services (see chart above). Athletic Director Jeff Wilson said while the system doesn’t see an exorbitant number of high-dollar injuries each year, he believes the change will make a significant difference for those who do face surgery. “These students carry the brunt for Polk County sports, and injury is going to happen, but we want to limit the burden on parents as much as we can,” Wilson said. System Finance Officer Charlotte Sullivan said she’s seen several parents through her office who are concerned about the amount of money needed to pay (Continued on page 6)

costs the school $10 per middle school student insured and $20 per high school student insured. Changes for the 2011-2012 school year would increase coverage for high school students to the highest level. Changing the level of coverage for high school athletes will cost the board an additional $5,000 next year or $30 per student athlete. Polk County Schools’ total insurance plan for students will therefore amount to $25,350.

As of April 1, the location became home to Elaine’s Attic, a quilting studio, and The Knitter’s Nest, a knitting store. Shop owners Robin Kaluahine and JoAnne Aldridge felt the two businesses blended well together and would be perfect for a joint space. “We both needed bigger spaces,” said Kaluahine. “I know we had a really weird layout in our last location that only allowed us to get three or four people in.” That kind of space simply doesn’t work when you have at least 40 women visiting your shop for a quilting block of the month club, she said. So the two kept their eyes open for a new location they could work from together. Aldridge first began knitting as a young girl. “I’ve been doing it all my life and I realized I got more comments on things I made than other pieces of clothing I wear. I love to see the look on someone’s face when they get it or when they can say, ‘I made this.’” In her shop in Lynn, Aldridge
taught locals to knit together beautiful strands of yarn. She hosts “Sit-n-knit” events on Thursdays and regular yarn “tastings” for customers to drop by and learn more about various samples of yarns to see if they fit their tastes. “I felt that I was being led to do this, but before I knew it I outgrew that space within a year,” she said. Aldridge opened the Knitter’s Nest in Lynn on Labor Day 2009, and soon yarn was practically spilling out the door. Meanwhile, quilter Kaluahine basically fell into the quilting business. Her aunt created a quilt for her made from fabric found in the attic by her grandmother, Elaine – hence the name of her business. She quickly fell in love with the history of those scraps of fabric and of the craft cherished by women for centuries. Not long after receiving this memento of family history, a good friend purchased a sewing machine for Kaluahine, which sparked a new creative aspect in her life. “I love the ability to be so creative,” Kaluahine said. “Plus, it provides you relaxation while at the same time having the ability to challenge yourself when you desire.” An absence of exciting new patterns and fabric designs at stores she frequented quickly left her wanting. Her solution? Seek out fabrics and sell them herself via the Internet. Before

because there are so many ladies out there who are so talented.” Traveling to quilt shows, which Kaluahine often does, allows her to further stretch her knowledge and cycle out inventory of fabrics and patterns so that items in her new Landrum store are always fresh. She and Aldridge also work hard to keep their skills as up-to-date as possible. “We’re here to teach for anyone who wants to learn – from kids to retirees,” Kaluahine said. “I have a student who is 94 years old and she is learning new things all the time,” Aldridge said. The two women hope the community will visit not only them, but Simple Simon’s, the third business occupying the Coach House. Simple Simon’s is an ice cream shop and coffee parlor located in the back section of the building. The group plans a grand opening toward the end of May.

Hospice of the Carolina Foothills pioneers recognized for 30 years of service by Maureen Smith for HoCF
Kathy Wells and Nan Holden, both 30-year veterans of Hospice of the Carolina Foothills (HoCF), were recently recognized as the longest-serving volunteers in the organization’s history. The two long-time volunteers were given a standing ovation by staff and other volunteers in attendance at an April 24 tea at Tryon Estates. To hear Wells and Holden tell it, though, they are the ones who have benefited most from their three decades of service. “It’s been a wonderful time,” Wells said, smiling. “That’s why we’re still here,” Holden added, echoing her sentiments. After the tea, Wells and Holden both described their early years at HoCF. STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA COUNTY OF POLK IN THE GENERAL COURT OF JUSTICE DISTRICT COURT DIVISION.

“Now don’t forget Susie House,” Wells said, praising House as a one of the HoCF pioneers, who passed away recently at Hospice House of the Carolina Foothills. “She volunteered for 29 years.” She also described how she, Holden and others had become involved with HoCF. “There was a get together at our church one night, and a speaker named Peter Keyes came from Charlotte,” she said. Well’s late husband, Dave Wells, had been interested in Hospice for many years, even before they moved to the area. “So as soon as Dave found out about this speaker, we were going to go,” she said, chuckling. “The whole movement really started with Dave, (Continued on page 22)

TDDA sponsors Tryon Gallery Trot The first Tryon Gallery Trot, held Saturday, April 16, was a resounding success as reported by the participating galleries: Upstairs Artspace, Skyuka Fine Art, Richard Baker Studio and Kathleen’s Gallery. Trade Street was bustling with activity as people from Tryon and surrounding communities made their way from gallery to gallery. “This is the type of activity we need downtown,” said Wanda May. The Tryon Downtown Development Association (TDDA) announced its sponsorship of the Tryon Gallery Trot at the May board meeting. TDDA is part of the Small Town Main Street program. One part of the four-part program is promoting the town through events, festivals and strolls – to show off the town as a vital place to work, shop
and play. The Tryon Gallery Trot galleries have selected four more dates for “trots;” June 4, July 30, August 20 and October 8. Look for more of the merchants and restaurants displaying the Tryon Gallery Trot logo to be opening their doors on those evenings.

Jack Allen and Tracey Lamar. They worked so hard for this Hospice,” she explained. Wells said she was not sure at first that she wanted to be a volunteer, but as soon as she heard the speaker, she signed up for the volunteer class. “Nan and I both took the class and shared the very first Hospice patient for a year and a half, a lovely Green Creek woman who was dying of bone cancer,” she explained. Eventually, Wells and her husband were fortunate enough to travel to England where they met Hospice founder Dr.Cicely Saunders. They also visited the large, bustling London Hospice, where young mothers with children volunteered with patients, while other volunteers babysat. On the flight home, Dave Wells remarked, “We have a
small Hospice, but a wonderful one. We will probably never get that big.” Unfortunately he did not live long enough to see his prediction refuted. Dave was a HoCF patient within 11 years of the organization’s opening, passing away in l992. Wells has continued to volunteer at the Thrift Barn and Hospice House, as well as working as a patient companion. She said she plans to keep on volunteering as long as she can. “I guess it’s in my blood,” she said. “Some people have asked me how I can work with patients who are dying without getting depressed. I tell them I want to do the best I can for them and their families while the patients are still alive. I couldn’t have done anything better in my life.” Holden said she’s never volunteered for anything without someone asking her to, but
soon after she moved to the area, she felt she would like to be involved in Hospice work. Holden explains that she had been influenced years before by a professor friend who was involved in teaching classes on death and dying. “There were just 25 of us who went to the original class in Tryon,” she said. “That’s where Kathy Wells and I were trained as patient companions.” She added that many people did not understand Hospice back then. They saw it as a sign of dying. “There were only one or two patients when Kathy and I shared our first patient in 1981,” she explained. Holden has continued to volunteer as a patient companion since then and currently shares part-time in the care of a patient. Her most memorable moments, she explained, center on the “extra pleasant” memories
she has of several patients she spent a great deal of time with. Currently, she also works at the Hospice Thrift Barn in Landrum, sorting merchandise. Holden said she is grateful beyond words after experiencing Hospice care when her late husband, Herbert Holden, became a HoCF patient last year. “I cannot say enough about seeing Hospice care from the other perspective,” she explained. Apparently she feels she cannot do enough for HoCF either. “As long as they will keep me, I plan to continue to volunteer,” she said. If you would like more information about the many volunteer opportunities available with Hospice of the Carolina Foothills, contact Kim Smith, volunteer manager, at 828894-7000, 864-457-9122, or kimsmith@hocf.org.

Promoting your special event In the last article we discussed profit enhancers for your special events. In this article we will talk about promotion for your special event. I think we all would agree that the most effective and cost effective way to promote anything is word-of-mouth advertising. In looking for ways to promote your event try a method that is essentially free. This method requires the nonprofit to team up with a local newspaper, TV, or radio station for a contest. In exchange for a specific number of spots or print ads promoting the event, the charity gives away a certain number of tickets each week. When purchasing advertising for your event, try some of the following ideas. Always remember that newspapers, magazines, radio and television stations offer special rates to nonprofits. Make sure to look for websites that get a lot of local traffic and make sure the traffic is from your donors. Free weekly papers or email newsletters are a great resource for advertising. Finally, check with local companies to see if it is possible to provide stuffers

or inserts for their regular company mailings. For formal special events that require invitations, make sure that the save-the-date cards are sent out before the invitations and at least eight weeks before the event. During the time that the save-the-date cards are being mailed the nonprofit should be investigating and promoting the event with travel bureaus and chambers of commerce. Both groups often publish newsletters and look for local content regularly. Also keep in mind that local newspapers usually have a free community events calendar. We have already mentioned that one of the most effective ways to get the word out is through the news media. This can include writing PSAs or press releases and arranging radio talk shows. If news media is right for your nonprofit and event, make sure you have a press kit for the event. The press
kit should include the following: cover letter, a news release, a fact sheet, organization information, sponsor list, poster, photos, and any print media from prior events. Make sure that you send all press release material out four to six weeks in advance of the upcoming event. Other publicity for the event can include the following: posters/flyers, billboards, the back of grocery store receipts, grocery sacks, movie theaters (pre-movie previews), publicity stunts, and pre-events. The next article will continue the series on special events and how to successfully host one for your organization. Nonprofit Leadership column, written by Melissa Le Roy, a nonprofit consultant, is aimed at providing guidance from Melissa’s perspective as a leader in both the nonprofit and for profit businessworld and does not reflect the views or opinions of any organization she has been affiliated with.
