per month for residential customers inside town limits and $4.26 per month for those outside the town. • A base rate increase of $3.56 per month for commercial customers inside town limits and $6.88 for those outside the town. Water rates will not be changed next year. The town has been approved to borrow money from the state at zero interest for the renovation of the wastewater treatment plant. Construction will likely not begin until 2013, with payments not being due until 2014, according to engineers. Columbus’ budget includes $249,250 to pay for the wastewater treatment plan design, which will be reimbursed from the loan at a later date. The town’s total budget was approved at $2,187,910 with
$1,324,735 in the general fund and $863,175 in the enterprise fund. The town expects to receive $440,000 in real property tax revenue next year, with an expected $17,440 from vehicle tax revenue. The revenue is based on real property tax values in Columbus of $116,784,225 and $5,287,775 in assessed vehicle values. After budgeting no funding this fiscal year for the Fabulous Fourth of July Celebration, council decided to place $6,500 in next year’s budget because next year is the town’s 50th celebration. This year Polk County paid the remaining balance for fireworks that end the festival. Of the $6,500 budgeted for next year’s festival, $1,500 will come out of the town’s occupancy tax revenues. The budget projects the town will receive $20,000 total next year in occupancy tax revenue. Columbus’ new budget year begins July 1.

Hanukkah, or Chanukah, is a Jewish celebration that is also known as the Festival of Lights. Hanukkah is an eight-day celebration, most notably marked with the lighting of the menorah. The menorah is a candleholder that holds nine candles; the main eight candles and a “helper” candle called a shamash, which is used to light all eight candles. This tradition is derived from a story found in the Talmud about a man named Judas Maccabaeus, or Judah Maccabee. Around 170 B.C., the ruler Epiphanes tried to force the Greek gods upon the Jews.

2011 BBQ festival a success, organizers say The 2011 Blue Ridge Barbecue & Music Festival is over and Harmon Field is once again back to use ball games, dog walking and river watching. But on June 10-11, the field was host to almost 90 cook teams, 38 craft tents, 90-something classic cars, nearly 100 motorcyclists, many Rubber Duckie Race hopefuls, carnival rides and games and performances by some great musicians. “We don’t have a headcount yet,” said festival chairman Chuck Britton, “but as festivals go, this was a good one. We probably didn’t break any records, but we did well. It ran smoothly and everyone seemed to be having fun.” When it was announced last year that the festival would be canceled, area residents objected. Many stepped up to play a role in seeing the annual event continue last year, and many were holding their breath to see how it would go this year. “All I can tell you for sure,” said Britton, “is that we’ve got a good thing going, and we’ll be back next year. This festival is good for our area; it brings people together in community service, it attracts new people to Polk County and surrounding areas and it has a huge financial impact.” Julie Miller, a sixth-grade math and language arts teacher at Polk County Middle School, was on hand early Friday to participate in the opening ceremonies. She sang “The Star Spangled Banner” a cappella. Afterwards, she said, “What a wonderful experience! It was obvious from the beginning and throughout the event that the organizers knew what they were doing. It was no fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants operation; this was something that they had been planning and working on for months and months. Everything was presented in the spirit of fun, but conducted like a business. The committee had taken the time to give serious thought to what people would want – what

would make them want to come, and then made sure it was worth their while once they got here.” Miller had plenty of time to observe how the festival functioned as she also performed with Project X on the Main Stage on Saturday, June 11. There were many winners associated with the festival. Cook team winners In the main competition between the cook teams, cash awards were given from first to 10th place in each Kansas City Barbecue Society category of cooking and, of course, to the top 10 overall scorers. Cash prizes also went to winners in the new potato salad contest, as well as in the Anything But and dessert competitions. Jeff Campbell’s Wicked Que team from Watkinsville, Ga., earned top honors finishing with 682.2854 points, 8 points more than runner-up Governor’s BBQ of Hildebran, N.C. Tuffy Stone’s Cool Smoke team from Richmond, Va., the 2008 Blue Ridge champions, placed third, with Good Ole Boys Country BBQ of Cherryville, N.C., and Bub-Ba-Q of Jasper, Ga. rounding out the top five. Bub-Ba-Q recently won the “Ultimate BBQ Showdown” competition on CBS.
Good Ole Boys Country BBQ of Cherryville, N.C., led by Gary Borders, captured the Governors Trophy, awarded to the top North Carolina team in the event. For a complete listing of the top placements in all categories, visit BlueRidgeBBQFestival.com. Rubber Duckie River Race winners Cooking was not the only contest with prizes. There were also cash winners in the Third Annual Rubber Duckie River Race and, as luck would have it, a brother and sister won first and second places.

Seniors and depression - facts and warning signs In a recent column I addressed the concern about depression being misdiagnosed as Alzheimer’s disease or Alzheimer’s being misdiagnosed as depression. Today’s column will discuss some facts about depression among seniors and provide you with a list of warning signs to enable you to recognize whether your loved one may be suffering from depression or a short term case of the “blues.” Here are some facts about depression: • Approximately 2 million U.S. seniors have been diagnosed with some form of depression. • About 5 million seniors may show symptoms of depression, but don’t meet the standard criteria for a diagnosis for a depressive illness. • According to a study done by Clinical Trials Search, approximately 50 percent of residents in skilled nursing facilities experience some of the major symptoms of depression. • That same study also found that seniors who were diagnosed as depressed were more than twice as likely to be placed in skilled nursing facilities than non-depressed seniors. • Persistent feelings of depression are not normal, even at the end of life, yet as many as 75 percent of patients experience end-of-life depression that may be treatable as part of palliative care. The first question to address is, “Is it the blues or is
it really a depressive illness?” symptoms, and the degree or As mentioned in a previous severity of symptoms may vary article, that’s not always easy from person to person. to determine, particularly with However, if your loved one elderly patients. exhibits several of the followShort term depression, usu- ing symptoms for a period of ally defined as less than 2-3 time lasting more than two weeks, may be the result of a weeks, he or she may need chronic illness, pain, loss of a professional help: loved one, death of a longtime • Persistent feelings of emppet or loss of a close friend. tiness, sadness or anxiety Those are very good reasons • Stated feelings of hopefor anyone to feel depressed. lessness, worthlessness or However, those feelings helplessness should be short• Frequent epilived and resodes of crying Senior solve within a • I n c r e a s e d few weeks as LifeStyles agitation and the emotional restlessness Ron Kauffman pain and feel• Fatigue and ings of loss bedecreased engin to heal, and ergy are replaced with some of • Loss of interest in activities life’s current and more joyful or hobbies that once were experiences. pleasurable The two key elements to • Difficulty concentrating, help you in determining if the remembering details and condition is truly depression making decisions and not the blues are: the dura• Sleeping too much or not tion of the symptoms and the enough severity of the depression. • Poor appetite or overeating With clinical depression, • Expressing thoughts of symptoms are present virtually death, dying or suicide all of the time and last well beIf your loved one has been yond just a few weeks.

the market, or it may warrant medical tests, of a referral to a neurologist or psychologist for a confirmed diagnosis and treatment. If prescription medicines have been introduced, be sure to monitor any changes in the patient during the first week or two following a visit to the doctor. It’s important to determine if a positive change in mood and attitude has occurred warranting further use of medications. It’s also possible that the depressive illness may have been the result of a physical link to ailments such as Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, heart disease, stroke or Parkinson’s disease. Notify the doctor immediately if the depressive condition worsens or if the prescribed medicines have had an adverse effect upon the patient. In today’s world of medicine, it’s often too easy to have a doctor dismiss a complaint with a quickly written prescription when the problem may well be something that was overlooked in the initial visit and diagnosis.
