Sheriff makes two more arrests in Operation Pill Sweep by Leah Justice

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office arrested two area women in Operation Pill Sweep. Amanda Mathis, of 1067 Sandy Springs Road, Rutherfordton, N.C., was arrested and charged with felony selling and delivering a schedule IV controlled substance and felony maintaining a vehicle/dwelling/ place for a controlled substance, according to Polk County Sheriff Donald Hill. Hill also said Jessica Clark, of 1445 Houston Road, Columbus, was arrested and charged with manufacturing a schedule IV controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana up to ½ ounce. The arrests were part of a nine-month undercover opera-

tion conducted by the sheriff’s office to clean up illegal prescription medication in the county. Hill said his office has warrants for more than 20 individuals and arrests will continue to be made over the next few weeks. The sheriff ’s office purchased an estimated 2,000 illegal prescription pills during the undercover operation. Hill said he is not negotiating prosecution of the cases. He also said suspects include people from all walks of life regardless of sex, race or social status. The operation has involved the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Veteran’s Affairs, the Buncombe County, N.C., and theSpartanburg County, S.C. sheriff’s offices.

Amanda Mathis

Jessica Clark

Hill said charges filed during the operation have been related to many illegal substances in addition to illegal prescription medications, including cocaine, heroin, opium and marijuana. A couple of suspects have also been charged with child

abuse, because illegal transactions were conducted in the presence of children, according to Hill. Mathis was given a $5,000 bond and Clark was given a $1,000 bond, according to police reports.

3.00 Savings Special

incurred in connection with cleaning up and covering the landfill. The county’s former landfill is approximately 17.8 acres. Altamont Engineering was hired in August 2008 to oversee the final phase of covering the former landfill with a required 2-foot thick soil cover. Once the soil cover was complete, the county planted grass over the landfill. The county was required to monitor the former landfill from then on. Whitson said the reimbursement funding will go into the county’s solid waste budget and the county should have no need to raise solid waste fees for a long time.

Community pride works What does it take to get something done? For the residents of Silver Creek in Mill Spring it took solidarity and gumption. After three years of struggling back and forth to get themselves in front of decision-makers and funding sources, these community members finally saw on Friday, June 17 the beginning of an end to what has been several decades of struggle. Residents of the former Land of the Lakes subdivision thought in the 1970s they were moving into a developing neighborhood that would one day see moving trucks with new neighbors rolling down well-paved and maintained roads. When developers abandoned the project, however, these families – including seniors on fixed incomes and young couples just starting out – discovered some roads in their subdivision would never be paved. Those roads that were paved never again saw maintenance unless homeowners themselves got out there and shoveled gravel into potholes and ruts. These determined individuals did just those things, and three years ago decided they’d had enough of being ignored. Rita Holden, Wiley Gainus and Don Yarbrough banded together with fellow neighbors to put up a fight until someone listened. Eventually county officials discovered a law that would require the state to help maintain the neighborhood’s roadways. This past April, Sen. Tom Apodaca and Rep. David Guice chipped in funds to set in motion the first phase of repairs. All these neighbors wanted was for the county school bus to be able to enter their neighborhood safely and for friends and family to be able to drive into their community without worrying whether they were going to tear off the bottom of their car. We commend these neighbors for sticking together and not sitting idly in their homes with hung shoulders, feeling sorry for themselves. They fought for what they knew was the right thing. And in the process, they proved the truth of their slogan, “Community Pride Works.”

the success of this event has enabled the Chamber Foundation to grant over $150,000 to worthy organizations in our local communities from the proceeds of this great BBQ Festival!

TPS opening reception for artist Diana Martin June 26 Tryon Painters and Sculptors will host an opening reception Sunday, June 26 for Diana Martin’s oil, acrylic and watercolor paintings in Gallery One at Tryon Fine Arts Center (TFAC) in Tryon. Tryon Painters and Sculptors presents oils and acrylics by Martin in Gallery One at TFAC from June 26-July 30. Organizers said, “This show, entitled “Color and Complexity,” promises to be a not-to-miss experience for those who enjoy seeing work by someone who has dedicated her whole career to expressing herself in such a creative, expressive way. For more than 40 years, Martin has applied her talent to various artistic endeavors, including sculpture, ceramics, jewelry and clothing design as well as fabric painting and wall hangings created from wood, fibers, metal and canvas. Her professional career spans

a range of specialties including theater costume design and custom airbrush paintwork for custom car shows, Gloria Vanderbilt and Via Flora Productions of Palm Beach, Fla. She has won many awards and first place ribbons throughout the years, including winning the best artwork on custom show Corvettes in Miami Beach two years in a row. Martin now spends most of her time in her home studio, painting on canvas, masonite and paper using a variety of techniques and media. She uses acrylics, watercolors, enamels, graphite and pastels (and whatever else she finds) with equal enthusiasm combined with an imagination, she said. It is one of her greatest inspirations to know that people enjoy and want to own her creations. “I have a deep hunger to create something that moves the soul. When I paint a piece of art and see it

speak to someone else, that is when I feel I have accomplished what I set out to do,” said Martin. The Diana Martin exhibit runs June 26 - July 30 at the Tryon Fine Arts Center, located at 34 Melrose Ave. in Tryon with a reception on

June 26 from 5 - 7 pm. The public is invited to attend. For more information please call 828 859 8322 or visit www.tryonpaintersandsculptors.com. – article submitted by Karen Dow

Horse The letter no one wanted Top to Quality receive Hay Before the days of Western Union’s terse telegram of bad news, letters arrived with a unique marking and told of the demise of a loved one or friend. It was a letter no one wished to receive. Easily spotted in the postman’s pouch or the rural route mailbox, a distinctive, wide rule of black ink lined the envelope. A ballad was written about one man’s receipt of the dreaded letter. It became a favorite. The Letter Edged in Black I was standing by my window yesterday morning, Without a thought of sorrow or of care; When I saw the postman coming up the pathway, With such a smiling face and jolly air.

Tryon Elementary students create their own myths 2009 Editor’s note: Mrs. Corcoran’s fifth grade enrichment class at Tryon Elementary School recently completed a unit of study on Greek myths. Students created their own god or goddess and wrote a myth about their god. The following is an essay by Katie Hay. Oceana, The Goddess of Oceans by Katie Hay Once there was a Greek god named Oceana who was very beautiful. Her long blond hair and blue eyes, her kindness and big smile made everyone who met Oceana want to be her friend. Her father Zeus loved her very much and gave her many oceans. Oceana loved these oceans very much and created many beautiful creatures to live in them. Her brother Meteor, the God of jealousy, was very jealous of her gift. He decided to destroy the oceans by throwing huge boulders into them. This created large holes and made

Oceana very angry. She went to Zeus to ask him to rid her of Meteor. Zeus refused because Meteor was also his son. He told Oceana that they would have to work out their differences together. Oceana tried to talk to Meteor, but he refused to stop 1x1 W,F throwing boulders. Oceana afraid 4/8, 10,was 15, 17, 22,all24,her lovely water creatures would 29, 5/1 be killed, so she sent a swirlingLARL-028884 storm out of the ocean that covered many miles and lasted for three days. The storm swallowed Meteor up and transformed him into a small red fish. Oceana then met a god named Hermes and gave birth to nine children. The first one they named Shark for its ferociousness. The second one they named fish. Fish had many beautiful children who were all different shapes, sizes and colors. The third one they named Octopi and gave it eight legs. LARL-028884

The fourth one they named Dolphin for its happiness. The fifth one they named Whale for the groaning sound it made. The sixth one they named Turtle and made it very slow. The seventh one they named Lobster and gave it pinchers. The eighth one they named Starfish because it was the shape of a star. The ninth one they named Jellyfish and gave it the power to sting. Oceana and Hermes ruled the oceans for many years in a kind and fair way. All of the ocean’s creatures loved Oceana and gave her many treasures such as pearls and beautiful coral. Oceana was always sad because her brother Meteor was such a small fish and was always chased by the bigger fish. She decided to forgive him and change him back to his original form. Meteor was very grateful, and never showed his jealous - page 1 ways toward Oceana,0tfn3wed or her Oceans and creatures.

the street without a job unless she took action. When she arrived for her scheduled audition she encountered a gruff, somewhat disheveled man in the hallway who asked her, “Who are you and what are you doing here?” When she told him that she had an appointment for an audition, he said, “Play.” She did and he responded, “I’ll call you.” Several months later, he called her for another audition, which turned out to be a carbon copy of the first one. When he called again, she was determined to make sure that the result would be different, so she showed up in extremely high heels, her mother’s fur coat and a piled-to-the-sky hairdo. He hired her on the spot and she has been playing her flute ever since. Elizabeth Gardner, who had previously appeared on FMC programs as a singer, made her debut as a classical guitarist. She played “Espanoleta” by Gaspar Sanz and “Gymnopédie No. 1,” a famous piano piece by Eric Satie, in a guitar transcription. Gardner studies with Amy Brucksch. Troy Brooks, first prize winner in this year’s FMC scholarship competition, played the second movement of Paul Creston’s “Sonata for Alto Saxophone,” without piano accompaniment. Brooks

The final meeting of the Foothills Music Club (FMC) took place at the home of Mimi Child Traxler on Thursday, May 12. President Jeanette Shackelford presided at the brief business meeting, during which club members voted unanimously to designate the first-place award in each year’s FMC scholarship competition as the Lesley Oakes scholarship, in honor of the club’s founder. The afternoon’s musical program, titled “Musical Mélange,” was organized by Amy Brucksch, who introduced the performers. The Harvey Girls, singers Ann Harvey Morgan and her daughter Ellen Harvey Zipf in look-alike outfits, drew the audience into their singing of echo songs and rounds. Both of the Harvey girls have extensive experience singing in women’s a cappella ensembles and have done music therapy for the ill, elderly and infirm. Lesley Oakes and Mimi Child Traxler played “Polonaise and Badinerie” from J.S. Bach’s “Second Suite for Orchestra,” as arranged for flute and piano. Oakes shared her story of an audition which she scheduled during her Easter break a couple of months before her graduation from college, when she realized that she would be out on
