Local farms, local food PolkFresh Farm Tour Saturday by Samantha Hurst
What participants in Saturday’s second PolkFresh Farm Tour discover as they traverse the county visiting farmers markets, cattle farms and vineyards might surprise even those who have called Polk County home for quite some time. “A meal from start to finish – a whole week’s meal plan could be completed right here in the county,” said organizer Carol Lynn Jackson. “There are fruits, vegetables, herbs, meats - all grown right here. We want people to become familiar with how much we can do locally, instead of jumping on the interstate and exit shopping.” (Continued on page 3)

Polk adopts manager’s budget by Leah Justice
Polk County commissioners could not come to a unanimous agreement, nor could they reach a compromise between the two budget versions proposed for fiscal year 2011-12. They voted 3-2 on Monday, June 20 to approve Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson’s budget, which includes no tax increase. Commissioners Ray Gasperson,
Renée McDermott and Cindy Walker voted in favor of the manager’s budget, and commissioners Ted Owens and Tom Pack voted against it. Owens made a motion to amend the manager’s budget, incorporating Pack’s proposals into it, but the motion failed. Pack had submitted recommendations that included a 1.14 cent

This year’s farm tour will take place Saturday, June 25 from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. The tour offers opportunities to learn about small-scale agricultural initiatives in the community, Jackson said. “We’re used to mega factory farms and the millions of acres and
buying of a global food system,” she said. “We’re also used to what, at one time, looked like lower prices, but even now you can see the bump in gas prices in the cost of your foods in the grocery store. Plus, even if some of the local products are a little more expensive, when you take a local farm visit you see why – it’s hand produced.” (Continued on page 4)

Kevin McCannon, owner of Maple Creek Farms where Texas Longhorns are raised, said the tour is all about encouraging a desire in consumers to know more about what they’re eating and how that affects their lives. “You’re really starting to see it now – the education of what it takes to grow particular products and how they’re grown,” McCannon said. “There are a lot of things being put into our food that we shouldn’t be eating. We need to know what is in our food, because a lot of people think they know what they are eating but they don’t.” McCannon said he thinks many would be shocked by the breadth of knowledge even a small farmer needs daily. He said visitors to his farm Saturday will learn about Longhorn cattle, of course, but also about conservation efforts, various types of beef from grassfed to organic and about forestry. Another stop along the tour is Leap Farm. Owner Lee Mink hopes to instill a sense of passion regarding sustainable farming in visitors. “The farming community here has been really revitalized over the last couple of years,” Mink said. “Our local farmers are going to become extremely important, I think, because as fuel costs go up it becomes evident in the cost of groceries. To support the local farmers gives you a lot of food security. We can feed ourselves locally as long as we get the support for those who grow the food.” Mink and Leap Farm focus primarily on producing locally to sell locally. His main aim in participating in the tour, he said, was to show people a method of farming to grow organically and sustainably and emphasize local inputs to farm right here in Polk County. “I am going to try and give them a holistic overview including why I place my fields where I do, how they can improve soil health and even what specifically grows well in Polk County,” he said. He said if visitors walk away

with one thing, he hopes they can go back and look at their property as a whole and be able to figure out what they can do on their own. Just like completing a meal, the farm tour doesn’t forget locally produced beverages. This tour includes stops at several local wineries, which Jackson said are also a huge part of the local agriculture community. “I think many people would be surprised to know there are 22 vineyards in Polk County and the history of the role grapes at one time played for the county economically because at one time it was our number one export,” Jackson said. McCannon said he believes people are beginning to crave this type of knowledge and experience. “One of the reasons why people come to visit our farm is because only two percent of the world farms now, so a majority of the people don’t know what it takes to farm – they don’t know how to raise animals or grow vegetables,” McCannon said. “Plus, many others who may have grown up on farms now want their kids to have an experience like they did when they were young.” A single vehicle pass will cover any number of people in the vehicle and allow them to visit any of the participating farms. That pass can then also be used Sunday, June 26, to visit ASAP’s Family Farm Tour, which extends to Henderson and Buncombe counties and beyond. Passes can be purchased at the Mill Spring Ag Center in Mill Spring or at the Manna Cabanna in Saluda. You can also download the farm tour program and map at www.polkcountyfarms.org and purchase your pass the day of the event at any one of the farm stops. Farm fresh lunch specials will be available at Adawehi’s Beneficial Food Store and a Farm Tour box lunch special will be available at A.P. Williams Deli and Dairy Bar on Hwy. 9 in Green Creek. Or, take your own picnic and lunch riverside or fieldside in the shade at any one of the farm tour stops.

tax decrease, leaving employee deductibles at the current $500 and giving some sheriff’s office and communication employees raises, among other recommendations. The budget approved leaves the property tax rate at 52 cents per $100 of valuation. Commissioners continued to disagree on which budget proposal was best on Monday. Owens and Pack said the county continues to save money and contribute to its fund balance and therefore should give residents a tax break. Gasperson, McDermott and Walker said Pack’s proposal is not sustainable and given the economy, the county should continue its course and go with the manager’s proposal. A 1.14 cent tax decrease would have meant an $11.40 annual savings to taxpayers owning a home valued at $100,000. Commissioners have disagreed
percent of the total budget, and that would be more if the county hadn’t paid down debt service last year. “We do not want to follow that policy of spending more than we take in, and of borrowing and spending and borrowing and spending,” said McDermott. McDermott also said Polk County has lost thousands of dollars in sales tax revenue because of the downturn in the economy, and those losses were made up through big cuts in the budget over the last few years. “And we have worked very hard to keep from having any tax increases to make up the deficits that come from losing the sales tax dollars because of the economy, and to avoid any employee or teacher layoffs,” McDermott said. “You have got to balance that against the reality of what is happening in the state and the country and our county these days.” (See McDermott’s statement, page 9.)

for weeks on the significance of the savings. The tax cut would have cost the county a little more than $300,000. Owens read a statement giving his support of including Pack’s recommendations into the budget. “I support commissioner Pack’s proposed budget changes because for the first time in a long time it takes the county in the right direction,” said Owens. “It recognizes that the taxpayers in this county are being overtaxed. Commissioner Pack’s budget funds the needs of our schools and the need to correct some pay injustices in the sheriff’s department and in communications that should have been addressed in previous budgets.” (See Owens’ full statement, page 6.) McDermott said the Owens/ Pack budget asks for the county to spend every cent that’s taken in and more, drawing down the fund balance. She mentioned that next year’s budget includes $1,705,329 in debt service, which equals 6.5 cents in taxes, or 10

Commissioner Owens issues statement on county budget Editor’s note: Following are comments made by Polk County Commissioner Ted Owens on Monday, June 20, 2011 regarding the county’s fiscal year 20112012 budget. Mr. Chairman, I thank you for the opportunity to speak in favor of my motion. First I appreciate the fact you as chairman have let each one of us commissioner speak without cutting us off. Now I beg your and my colleagues’ indulgence and patience for this rather lengthy epistle. After the 1986 elections Polk Co. went from three commissioners to five. Also at the same time I ended up on a board with four Democrats and me alone Republican. As commissioner McDermott is today, I was at that time on the state board of NCACC (N.C. Association of
County Commissioners). Right after that election I went to Raleigh to attend a board meeting. I was feeling pretty low and disgusted about the election results. A staff member who was a former county commissioner talked with and told me to remember that I was still an elected official and at commissioners’ meetings I had a right to speak and make motions. He also added “your motions may not get on the floor, but you still have a right to make them.” For this reason whether I agree or not or feel that what is being said is factual, I will defend a commissioner’s right to speak at a commissioners’ meeting such as commissioner McDermott did at our June 6 meeting. I believe our county manager
• Polk budget
county manager has done a good job of leading us in rocky times.” Gasperson said his primary concerns are that the county doesn’t know what future cuts may be coming from the state level. “Reality is here in Polk County that the growth rate is flat for the tax base, if not declining slightly,” Gasperson said. “If it were years ago with the growth rates, [Pack’s] budget might make more more sense.” (See other comments read by Gasperson, page 12.) The budget approved includes no salary increases and an increase in employee health insurance deductibles from $500 to $1,000 beginning on Jan. 1, 2012. The budget includes an additional $400,000 for the school system to make up for state cuts, including helping to fund the preschool More-at-Four program, which is currently in jeopardy. The budget leaves all six fire department tax rates and the Harmon Field rate unchanged. The new fiscal year begins July 1.
(continued from page 5)
Pack said he deals in facts and the fact is his budget is sustainable. He called “sustainable” the board majority’s “new buzz word.” Pack said even though he proposed a tax cut, the county would still end the year with $250,000 to $500,000 going toward fund balance, it just wouldn’t be as much savings as years7past. 0tfn3tue in - page “(The fund balance is) going to continue to grow,” Pack said. “It’s just not going to grow as much. Paying debt service is good. I applaud you. It’s time to give that back.” Walker said she has really struggled with the budget this year and would like to try to reach a point in the future when the county gives taxpayers money back, but not until more of the county’s debt is paid down. “I am concerned still that we are in a place that we need to be very, very careful,” Walker said. “When I look at the trend, the

McDermott responds to Owens’ budget statement Editor’s note: Following are comments made by commissioner Renée McDermott in response to commissioner Ted Owens’ comments regarding the county’s fiscal year 2011-2012 budget. Commissioner Owens cited former President Reagan in support of his and commissioner Pack’s fiscal policies. I note that Mr. Reagan’s fiscal policies plunged the country into a series of deficits and national debt that we are still trying to dig out of today. We cannot do that on behalf
of Polk County. The U.S. government lives off debt and spending more than it takes in, and now people are decrying it. And that is what commissioners Owens and Pack are asking for now: spending every cent that’s taken in, and more, drawing down the fund balance. We cannot allow that to be done. We do not want to follow that policy of spending more than we take in, and of borrowing and
• Owens issues
funds came from that you are enjoying spending? These same people gave the contractors, carpenters, graders, electricians and plumbers, plus many others, work they don’t have now. Some of these people still have some very expensive equipment and they can’t pay for them when they are sitting in the yard doing nothing. As you have, I have heard from both sides of the aisle that we need to work together. So why are you not willing to at least look at the suggested changes commission Pack has proposed rather than making it political and declare it DOA. I ask each of you to do what hasn’t been done since this board convened in December and that is to put politics aside and give bi-partisan support to and vote for my motion. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for allowing me the time to speak.

stay at $500 you would not have reduced it from $1,500 to $1,000. When you cut benefits and do not give the employees a pay increase then you are cutting their pay. As I said in an earlier meeting, I’m sure corrections in other areas need to be made. That is the reason commissioner Pack has said this proposed budget is phase one. Next year will be phase two.

spending, and borrowing and spending. In our budget this year, if we adopt the county manager’s budget, there is $1,705,329 that is debt service. Debt service. Almost 10 percent of our budget goes to pay for past borrowing. The majority of the board of commissioners has worked very hard these last several years to pay down that debt, and we have saved thousands and thousands of taxpayers’ dollars by doing it. The minority on this board say that we should borrow and borrow and not pay off the debt – that there is no problem there – and we should not save and pay as we go. But it saves taxpayer dollars when you pay as you go, rather than spending all this money for debt service. $1,705,329 this year alone, which would be a whole lot more if the majority had not been paying down that debt in the last few years. $1,705,329 is about 6.5 cents on your tax rate just for debt
service. Almost 10 percent of our budget. That is a shame. We need to get away from that. We need to keep paying down that debt so that we can save the taxpayers’ money. And that cannot be done if we spend every cent we take in, or spend even more. Commissioner Owens says I said $10 did not amount to much. I never said that. I think people are often surprised that that is all that comes from a 1-cent tax cut. In fact, all together that same 1-cent tax cut amounts to a great deal for the children and other citizens of Polk County. It means saving the very successful More at Four program for our pre-schoolers; it means carrying on with the comprehensive plan and unified development ordinance, something Polk County citizens have been asking for and working on for years, and much more. Commissioners Owens and Pack are against the work on the unified development ordinance, and want to stop it in its tracks. A great deal would be lost if we did this tax cut.

sands and thousands of dollars in sales tax revenue because of the downturn in the economy. Making it up came from big cuts in the budget over the last few years. And we have worked very hard to keep from having any tax increases to make up the deficits that come from losing the sales tax dollars because of the economy, and to avoid any employee or teacher layoffs. You have got to balance that against the reality of what is happening in the state and the country and our county these days. The economy is not going to come back real soon. It is going to be a while. So we need to take that into consideration in having a sustainable budget. And, I am sorry, I do not believe that the Pack-Owens budget is sustainable. Mr. Owens argues that it was the Pack/Owens proposal that caused the rollback of the county employees’ insurance deductible from $1,500 to $1,000. Not so. From the outset, I argued for a $1,000 deductible for the employees and against the $1,500 deductible. I think chairman Gasperson and county manager Whitson can attest to that. It was not because of something commissioners Owens and Pack did. It was from the outset. Mr. Owens criticized the majority for spending “millions” right before the last election. But what was that for? It was just under $2 million for the new human services building, a new building that even commissioners Pack and Owens acknowledged was desperately needed. Pack and Owens bought land just before the 2008 election that they planned to use for a new human services building, and had sketches drawn up for such a building. How can Mr. Owens now criticize the majority for following up and bringing that new building to completion? The county manager’s budget is a fair, balanced and sustainable budget. It is the right budget for Polk County.

Gasperson comments on budget Editor’s note: Following are comments made on June 20, 2011 by Polk County Commissioner Chair Ray Gasperson regarding the fiscal year 2011-2012 budget. I consider the primary role of a county commissioner should always be one of not only dealing with the current fiscal and other decision-making needs of our county, but even more importantly, having the vision to look forward two-five-plus years. The reasons that I support the FY 2011-12 budget are: 1. One of the mandates from the last election both nationally and locally was that we must lower deficit spending and public debt. Here in Polk County we were doing that before the last election and as long as I am an elected representative of the taxpayers of this county, I will always advocate that we continue taking
strong debt reduction action. 2. Polk County must be in a strong position to advance job-producing opportunities for our local economy. In order for this to be possible, we must have a healthy fund balance. An example of this was when I and the other members of the former BOC offered $300,000 matching funds last year hoping for a textile manufacturing company to locate in the former Woodlands Mill plant. This budget meets my personal mandates which are: no tax increase, no dipping into the county’s savings for current operating expenses and it sets us on a positive fiscal road so that the next budget past this one, the FY 2012-13, should also not have a tax increase and also will not have to use the county’s savings for current operating expenses.
Polk approves new procedures for commissioners’ meetings by Leah Justice
Polk County commissioners amended the county’s policy for placing items on the agenda after concerns were raised over a recent agenda item that did not include a description of the topic. Commissioners approved Monday, June 20 amending the policy to require a description accompanying any item placed on the agenda. Another amendment says in order to discuss an issue, a motion and a second must be made. Commissioners also agreed to adhere to the policy, including other policies that are not always followed, such as not adding items to the agenda except in emergencies or for time-sensitive issues. The policy was changed after concerns were expressed during the county’s June 6 meeting when an item was placed on the agenda by commissioner Ted Owens stating, “recreation department.” Several residents attended the meeting to offer comments even though the
item was taken off the agenda at the beginning of the meeting because the issue had already been settled. Owens said he placed the item on the agenda with no details because he did not know all the information before the deadline for placing items on the agenda. Commissioner Cindy Walker suggested the change in policy during the June 6 meeting. Owens suggested adding the policy of needing a motion and second in order to discuss an item. He said even if a commissioner makes a motion or second, it doesn’t mean that commissioner has to vote for the item, just that it is on the floor for discussion. “I think it will make us a little more efficient,” said Owens. Commissioner Tom Pack said he is concerned that the board doesn’t always follow the current eight items listed on the procedures. “If we’re going to put it in here, let’s follow it,” said Pack.

*** The gas tax in North Carolina will go up by 2.5 cents per gallon beginning July 1. The gasoline excise tax, recalculated by the state each year based on a six-month average for gas prices, will rise to a new high of 35 cents, giving the state more revenue for building and maintaining roads. Although legislators voted to lower the state’s sales tax, they were unwilling to stop the increase in the gas tax. Some legislators said the revenue is needed to keep up with critical infrastructure needs in the state. The N.C. Department of Transportation said it has a list of about 1,100 road projects to complete between 2015 and 2020. The projects are estimated to cost about $45 billion, but DOT said it only has about $9 billion to spend. Each penny in the gas tax generates about $50 million more to go toward road projects.

Tryon Seventh-day Adventist Church to host Community Health Fair June 26 A health fair for the community has been planned for Sunday, June 26, from noon- 5 p.m. at the Tryon Seventh-day Adventist Church’s Morgan Center. A free meal will be served to everyone who participates. Stations set up around the interior of the Morgan Center will allow people to meander through and learn about healthy lifestyles and get various medical checks done. Most of the medical checks will be offered free of charge, while some may have a slight fee. St. Luke’s Hospital will assist with some of the stations. A representative from Rosenberg Bone & Joint will answer questions and provide information on the latest orthopaedic advances available at St. Luke’s Hospital by Dr. Brian Rosenberg. The St. Luke’s Hospital Auxiliary and volunteers will attend and provide information on how to support the auxiliary and volunteer opportunities. St. Luke’s radiology department will be present with information on the imaging services, as well as information on women’s health. A speech therapist will be available to provide information on rehab services and a representative will be there from St. Luke’s regional Hyperbaric and Wound Care Center. Park Ridge Hospital’s Wellness on Wheels van will offer PSA and bone density tests. There is a charge for the PSA, but the bone density test is free. Richard Edney will conduct glaucoma checks and retinal photography. Ashley Gibbs, physical therapist for Rutherford County Hospital, will do some physical therapy demonstrations. Robert Shepard will do live
blood demonstrations. Do you have healthy and powerful blood, or is your blood tired? A microscopic photograph of healthy, powerful blood shows the red blood cells to be round, evenly shaped and freely floating in plasma. Live blood demonstration is a wonderful way to see that what you are doing with your health is working. Polk County Library will display items available for hearing and sight-impaired individuals. Community Health Connections, Hospice of the Carolina Foothills, and White Oak retirement community will have displays to share free handouts to everyone. Bev and Chet Cook and Myrna and Bob Esh will provide nutritional information and healthy food samples. Free food samples will be available
throughout the day. There will be a display and literature showing the effects of tobacco in our bodies. There will be a demonstration showing what your lungs can look like after tobacco consumption. Want to learn your real health-age? There will be a station available that will give you a printout showing what your real health-age is and recommendations on how to live a longer life. The event is offered free of charge to the community, although some of the stations may require a small fee for their medical checks. There will be something available for every age level.

The Landrum boys Yankees team celebrate after capturing the District 5 summer league tournament win. This group was made up of seventh10th graders. (photo submitted)
Yankees win District 5 The Yankees (Landrum boys) won the District 5 (Byrnes) summer league with a 9-1 record in the 13-15 year old group. The Yankees played in two different leagues, playing four nights a week. They played in the District 1 league in Landrum, finishing with a 6-2 mark in second place. The team won its last game over previously unbeaten Campobello 6-1. What made this 15-3 record from both leagues combined so special is that this group is made up of nine seventh graders, one eighth grader and two ninth grad-
ers, while most of the other teams they faced were mainly ninth and 10th graders. Team members include J.D. Edwards, Jacob Corn, Jonah Corn, Seth Stewart, Joel Seay, Hadyn Padgett, Ryan Blackwell, Preston Dimsdale, Austin Stoltzfus, Jeremy Fancher, Keelan Sheridan and Ben Gowans. The team was coached by head coach David Edwards, with assistant coaches Keith Corn, J.R. Padgett, Dave Gowans and Ronnie Blackwell. – article submitted by David Edwards

• Dehydration (continued from page 28)
of how much water one should drink a day, there are no easy answers, because of varying factors like age, health, activity level, and geographic location. One good approach is the 8x8 rule. Drink eight 8-ounce glasses a day. I recommend athletes drink two 8-ounce glasses before participating in any sport. Also, remember muscle is 70-75 percent water, so if you’re dehydrated, it’s like running on flat tires. In addition to water, you need to replace electrolytes like sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium and magnesium. Electrolytes, carry electrical charges through muscles, and without
them you could cramp. Remember too, that drinking alcoholic beverages dehydrates you, so choose water or sports beverages instead. Diet or exercise question? Email me at dwcrocker77@ gmail.com or visit fitness4yourlife.org. David Crocker of Landrum has been a nutritionist for 24 years. He served as strength director of the Spartanburg Y.M.C.A., head strength coach S.C. state champion girls gymnastic team, USC-Spartanburg baseball team, Converse college equestrian team, lead trainer to L.H.Fields modeling agency, taught four semesters at USCUnion.

Tai Ch’i at Landrum Presbyterian Landrum Presbyterian Church invites the surrounding communities to join them in their second eight-week exercise program using Tai Ch’i. For those not familiar with Tai Ch’i, it is an ancient Chinese exercise consisting of slow and gentle body moves while breathing deeply. The gentle moves promote relaxation and relief from stress. Studies have shown it may help maintain bone health, provide beneficial relief from the symptoms of fibromyalgia and knee osteoarthritis, improves sleep quality, promotes cardiopulmonary fitness through deep breathing and improves balance. This exercise is for all age groups. The only requirements are that you must be able to stand
and do very gentle stretching. The eight-week session will begin the first Thursday in July, July 7, and continue each Thursday through August. In order to accommodate both retirees and those working, two classes will be held: 10 a.m. – 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. – 8 p.m. Ed Kan of Isothermal Community College will be the instructor. Each session is limited to 12 participants. This allows Kan to give ‘one-on-one’ instruction. You will find flyers, with registration forms attached, in many restaurants/stores, giving all the information, or you may register by calling 864-457-2761. – article submitted by Jan Ludwick
• Quandary
in the instance of the death of Osama bin Laden. Part of me believes that justice has been served and I’m relieved that he is no longer a threat to others around the globe – especially Americans. Another part is diminished by the glee celebrated by many at the loss of another human being, regardless of his values that are so anathema to what I, and most of the people who read these words today, hold dear. In spite of the chasm dividing our opposing points of view we are still all in this thing together. This deed is now done. The conflict between east and west, however, is not over. Chances are that al Qaeda remnants will play another round, and that will spawn yet another. The world desperately needs a statesman who can help the sides find the commonality that exists and stop the seemingly endless need for revenge. Until then, we will have to live with both the good (to some in the Arab world) and the bad that are represented by bin Laden’s life and death.
(continued from page 30)
behind the plot. Still, my spiritual groundwork demands that I not gloat at the death of another human being. I have thought many times that in the view of radical Islam Americans are the terrorists, that western white people have once again invaded their countries, that Islamic values have been denounced and traditions violated, that some action had to be taken to stop western ways from destroying Arab culture. However wrong we westerners think those beliefs to be, they are still the beliefs and values of many in the Arab world. There is no real resolution to this dilemma. Life does not always present us with choices that are easily defined as to what is right and what is wrong. We don’t always get to take a stand and feel certain that we have made the best moral decision we could make given the situation. Sometimes we can’t choose at all. That is the case for me

Barr learned about the Appalachian Trail after reading a sign in the parking lot at Newfound Gap in the Great Smoky Mountains and was intrigued by the 2,000-mile footpath leading from Georgia to Maine. TRYonbapTisTAfter - pagehis 31 return home, Barr went to the public library and checked out every book on hiking and camping he could find. Soon, he built a hiking trail in the backyard behind his home. While attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Barr began pursuing the Congressional Award Gold Medal, given to young Americans who complete extensive projects in four different fields of personal development. In addition to public service, the award required a four-day self-planned outdoor expedition. Barr planned to hike 70 miles in five days on the Appalachian Trail through Great Smoky Mountains National Park with a college friend. According to Barr, they did everything wrong, carrying 60-pound backpacks, tennis shoes, all-cotton clothing and a TBAP-033564
cooking stove they didn’t know how to use. To make matters worse, they approached the hike with a false sense of physical conditioning and chips on their shoulders. They thought of turning back several times but completed the trip as scheduled. The hike reinvigorated Barr’s dream to through-hike the entire Appalachian Trail. In 2010, he fulfilled his once childhood dream by thru-hiking the 2,181mile trail. Barr joined the Carolina Mountain Club and presently sits on its council as chairman of its hiking challenge committee. He is one of only three people to have completed the “Southeastern Highest 100” and “North Carolina Highest 100.” He has also summited every southeastern peak over 5,000 feet. In 2008, Barr completed the hiking of all 900 miles of trails in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Barr founded and directs the N.C. chapter of the Forest Fire Lookout Association, a group dedicated to the preservation of historic fire lookout towers in the state. He is working to initiate multiple restoration projects for lookout towers in the western part of the state and to maintain and improve their access for hikers. Barr works in land conservation as the Land Protection & Americorps Program Coordinator for Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy. – article submitted by Tracie Hanson

How to pick the right nursing home Dear Savvy Senior, Can you give me some tips on picking a good nursing home for my 82-year-old father? He had a stroke last year and has been receiving care at home but it’s become too much to handle. Overwhelmed Daughter Dear Overwhelmed, Choosing a nursing home for a loved one that provides quality care is an important and difficult decision that requires some homework. Here are some steps that can help you find a good nursing home and avoid a bad one. Make a list: Start by contacting your Area Agency on Aging for a list of local nursing home facilities. Ideally, the facilities should be close to family members and friends who can visit often. Residents with frequent visitors usually get better care. The national Eldercare Locator (800-677-1116 or www.eldercare.gov) can direct you to your local aging agency. Do some research: Every year, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services collect data on more than 15,000 nursing homes throughout the country. Health inspection data, staffing and quality measures are combined to come up with an overall ranking system of one to five stars. To research the nursing homes in your area, go to medicare.gov and click on “Facilities and Doctors,” then on “Compare Nursing Homes.”

Rotarians learn about beekeeping
What's going on? Tryon Daily Bulletin subscribers know!
At a recent meeting of the Rotary Club of Tryon, Terry Schager spoke to the Rotarians about his passion of beekeeping. The presentation helped the Rotarians to understand the life cycle of honeybees and how honey is produced. In addition, Schager brought along much of the equipment necessary in keeping bees and included an answer and question session with his presentation. Pictured along with Terry is his wife, Stacey, who is a member of the Rotary Club, and Don Lyons, president of the club. (photo submitted by Bill Hillhouse)
in the heat of the summer? Bob Bailey, one of the church’s lay leaders, notes that while this is a year-round ministry, church members hope to have some of the coats ready by August to give to the children before school starts. “If dry-cleaning or repairs are needed,” Bailey said, “we’ll get it done. If folks can’t drop the coats off at the church, we’ll pick them
up. We can do so much more if others join us in trying to make our community a little warmer for those in need.” For more information, call Tryon United Methodist Church at 828-859-9218. The church is located at 195 New Market Road, near the Pine Crest Inn. – article submitted by Nancy Hiley
