‘Taken In’ film premiere in Tryon Monday, Tuesday Innovative funding source helps Greenville filmmaker by Samantha Hurst

Though South of the Border in Dillon, S.C., radiates with kitschy neon signs and sombrero-topped towers, filmmaker Chris White of Greenville found it the ideal location to shoot his lonesome, black and white feature film, “Taken In.” It seemed a fitting location, White said, given lead character Simon is aiming to reconnect with his estranged daughter, Brooklyn. “Her childhood is long lost, and that innocence of youth is long gone, and I could see this man maybe taking his child there to try and capture what had been lost,” White said. “Taken In” will have its pre(Continued on page 3)

Saluda toddler killed after falling from truck Wednesday A 16-month-old girl died in Saluda on Wednesday, July 13 after she fell from a truck traveling on Greenville Street, according to Saluda officials. Saluda City Administrator Erny Williams said the girl’s father, Brian Cody Huff, of Pace Mountain Road, Saluda, was driving a truck owned by his employer, Don Mintz, around 1:30

miere North Carolina screening at the Tryon Theatre Monday and Tuesday, July 18-19, at 7 p.m. White discovered his inspiration for the film after building relationships with students at Carl Brooks School in Virginia. This boarding school serves as a respite for students struggling through school and family life. White served as an artist-in-residence there, teaching art, leading plays and hosting film festivals. White said the kids at this therapeutic boarding school touched him. “They started formulating into a composite in my head,” White said. “This sort of story formed about a father and his teenage daughter. In my head I started imagining this touching image – it wasn’t of them crying or begging for forgiveness – it was of them holding hands. That’s what I want them to do, I just (Continued on page 4)

want them to touch hands.” For the first 20 minutes of the film nobody speaks, because they have nothing to say, White said. “I hope it doesn’t bore you, but it kind of seduces you into this relationship,” White said. “The movie is just a big lead up to the last shot, and that’s what I’m excited about, just to see if it lands with people.” White co-wrote the film with his wife, Emily, and produced it over the course of just five months. He said he wanted to see if he could make a feature-length movie that connects with people, and does everything he wanted it to do, for less than $8,000. On Jan. 15 of this year he began raising funds through Kickstarter, a free fundraising tool available to artists. Projects currently on the site involve everything from hanging swings in random public places in Bolivia to installation artists aiming to build life-size art. For more information on this funding source, visit www.kickstarter.com. The idea is to create a page for your project and then share the link with friends and family to “pass the hat,” White said. “I think it’s good for the artist because it allows them to sort of test the idea,” White said. “I’ve got to kind of prove myself to you a little

bit. I think it’s good for artists to have to do that, but it doesn’t work for everybody.” Within 42 days, White collected more than $8,000 from 120 sources. On March 1 he started work on the film and by April had begun devoting what would be two months to editing. Since then he’s been prepping for premieres such as the one to be held here in Tryon next week. The local filmmaker said his aim is to make at least two movies a year to improve his craft. White is currently working to prepare for “Get Better,” another father-daughter story to star Tryon resident and actor Robert Linder. This new project will be shot, at least in part, around Tryon. The funding post on Kickstarter goes live this week with the aim of raising $12,000. White hopes to begin shooting “Get Better” in late September. His plans are to release the film in January 2012. The last time White made a movie in Tryon was during the Christmas season of 1994. The movie, “Night Divine,” was screened during the holidays the next year. A short film entitled “Good Life” stars White and his youngest daughter, Harriet. It will also be shown Monday and Tuesday before the premiere of “Taken In.” Shows begin each night at 7 p.m. The Tryon Film Society is sponsoring the event.

Polk County is on its way to establishing a new economic and tourism development commission that is a merger of the economic development and travel and tourism departments. The Polk County Board of Commissioners met Monday, July 11 and set a public hearing to approve an ordinance establishing the commission. The public hearing will be held on Aug. 1 at 6:30 p.m. at the Womack building in Columbus. The county recently appointed an implementation committee to draft the ordinance establishing the committee, policies and procedures for the commission and a job description for an economic development director. Commissioners decided during budget preparations this year to merge the economic development and tourism departments. Previously, the county partially funded a travel and tourism department that was run with a full-time director of tourism. Polk County went one year without an economic development director, during which time the economic development department was run by a volunteer board. The new commission will be a merger of economic development and tourism duties. Commissioners plan to hire a

new economic development director, whose position will be a contracted service budgeted at $50,000. The travel and tourism portion of the department will be staffed by a part-time employee. The budget includes only approximately $64,000 expected to be collected in occupancy tax funding. The new economic and tourism development commission is proposed to consist of 11 members and one alternate. The commission is proposed to meet once per month with members having staggered terms. Members will serve one-year terms, with no member allowed to serve more than two consecutive terms. The policies and procedures draft for the commission says that different committees will be established, including a governance committee (executive/management functions), an economic development committee, a tourism and marketing committee and a technology/ websites committee. Ambrose Mills, chair of the county’s economic development committee, met with commissioners Monday and thanked the implementation team for the hard work they completed. Commissioners plan to adopt the new ordinance and policies and procedures after receiving public comment next month. The county has not yet hired an economic development director.

N.C. among U.S. leaders in ‘green’ economy jobs

West Field ManageMent CHWE-029052

North Carolina is adding “green” or “clean” economy jobs much faster than most other states in the country, according to a new report from the Metropolitan Policy Program at the Brookings Institution. The organization’s “Sizing the Clean Economy” report ranks North Carolina 11th for the overall size of its green economy, and sixth for the growth rate of green jobs. North Carolina added 26,101 clean industry jobs between 2003 and 2010, giving the sector an annual growth rate of 5.9 percent during the period, said the report. The jobs added during the eight-year period raised the total number of clean economy jobs in the state to 78,881, about 1.9 percent of all jobs in North Carolina. The Metropolitan Policy Program also reports the estimated median wage for clean economy jobs in North Carolina is $37,348, about 7 percent more than the $34,823 median wage for all jobs in the state. North Carolina’s job growth in the green economy sector was led by the Raleigh area, which ranked second among the country’s 100 largest metro areas, with an average annual growth rate of 13.7 percent between 2003 and 2010. Only Knoxville, Tenn. topped the Triangle area for clean industry job growth during the period. Charlotte was next in the state with 15,485 clean economy jobs in 2010, 4,268 more than it had in 2003. According to the report, the south has seven states with at least 50,000 clean economy jobs, making it the leading region in the country for the number of green jobs. South Carolina ranked 21st in the country with 50,424 clean economy jobs,

about 2.7 percent of all jobs in the state. South Carolina’s estimated median wage for clean economy jobs was $36,373, more than 9 percent higher than the $32,936 median for all jobs in the state. The green jobs growth rate was much higher in metro areas of South Carolina with Greenville and Charleston seeing growth of 4.9 percent and 5.4 percent, respectively. The report identifies the leading sector for green economy jobs in North Carolina was waste management and treatment (10,082 jobs), although the fastest growing sector was electric vehicle technologies, which added 1,121 jobs between 2003 and 2010. Waste management and treatment was also the leading sector for the number of jobs in South Carolina (5,739), while professional environmental services added the most jobs (1,313) during the eight-year period.

Around the Region

*** The N.C. Sustainable Energy Association recently reported that the Tarheel state has 1,792 companies in the renewable energy industry, about 1,100 or 63 percent more than a year ago. The association attributes the large increase to state tax credits, N.C. GreenPower, and the Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard law passed by the state in 2007. The law requires utilities to produce a larger share of energy from renewable sources. The list of registered renewable energy companies in the state ranges from a single solar panel on a home to a solar farm with about 63,000 panels. The state estimates the renewable energy projects in the (Continued on page 17)

state can produce enough power to meet the needs of more than 550,000 homes. The Asheville area was identified as one of the state’s cluster areas for renewable energy companies. Buncombe County alone has 213 registered renewable energy companies, according to the state. The N.C. Sustainable Energy Association’s report found that rural counties have a greater number of installed renewable energy projects and a higher total capacity in all renewable energy technologies except solar. Solar is used more heavily in urban areas, which are home to many rooftop solar systems.

meeting in Raleigh the panel issued maps showing that much of the state’s ocean waters are not suitable for offshore wind farms. The panel proposed restricting areas that would not produce sufficient wind energy or would interfere with military operations, fish habitats or bird habitats. Some of the remaining areas that are considered suitable for wind farm development would be as close as four miles from the shore, a distance that is visible from the beach. Energy produced from offshore wind farms would be sold to utility companies in the state. The recommendation from the federal panel will go to the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, which will establish areas available for wind farm development.

Around the Region

*** The North Carolina Utilities Commission approved the construction of a 300-megawattt wind farm in Eastern North Carolina. The wind farm, considered to be the single largest green energy project proposed in the state, will be located on 31 square miles of farmland in Perquimans and Pasquotank counties. The farm, called the Desert Wind Energy Project, would be the first commercial-scale wind energy project in the southeast and one of the largest wind farms in the state if it is completed on schedule next year. The $600 million project will require many more permits at the local, state and federal levels. The wind farm, proposed by the American subsidiary of Spanish energy company Iberdrola, would produce enough power on average for 55,000 to 70,000 homes per year. *** A federal panel plans to recommend that about two-thirds of offshore ocean areas considered for potential wind farm development should be off limits for wind turbines.

General Motors Ventures announced it plans to invest $6 million in Proterra, an electric bus manufacturer in Greenville, S.C. GM Ventures is part of an investment group that plans to contribute a total of $30 million to Proterra, which plans to use the funds to increase production in Greenville to 400 units a year. The company said its batteryelectric commercial transit buses average about 24 miles per gallon (diesel equivalent), which is about 600 percent better than the average for diesel-fueled buses. Proterra’s compositebodied BE-35 can recharge its battery in about 10 minutes through its roofmounted Fast Fill system, and it can travel about 40 miles before needing another recharge. GM said the investment in Proterra will help the company commercialize its electric bus and fast-charging technology, while also addressing “the future challenges of urban mobility.”

The Clemson University Restoration Institute is moving forward with construction of a wind-turbine drivetrain testing facility in North Charleston. Clemson recently signed contracts with Choate Construction Co. of South Carolina and AEC Engineering for the $98 million testing facility, which is expected to be complete by the end of 2012. Clemson received a $45 million grant for the project from the U.S. Department of Energy, along with $53 million in matching public and private funds. The testing facility, located on the former Navy base in North Charleston, will test large drivetrain systems ranging from 5 to 15 megawatts. State and industry officials said the testing facility, which fills a void because most existing facility can test only systems below 5 megawatts, has the potential to create a wind energy cluster, drawing thousands of jobs to the region. Nearly all of the world’s leading wind turbine manufacturers are represented on the industrial advisory board for the Clemson facility, and a German manufacturer already announced plans to open a plant in North Charleston that will make wind turbine parts.

Around the Region

*** Prettl Electronics Greenville Inc. announced this week it will invest $1.5 million and create 80 new jobs at a Greenville facility that will make inverters for the solar panel and wind turbine industries. Prettl, founded in 1953 in Germany, has more than 5,000 employees in 19 countries, including about 100 in Greenville, where it has been since 1988. The inverters produced by Prettl Electronics Greenville Inc. will convert direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) at any required voltage and frequency. Bobby Hitt, secretary of commerce for South Carolina, said Prettl’s expansion adds jobs and strengthens the state’s already well-established trade relationship with Germany. *** 110218 - page 2

*** The Buncombe County Board of Adjustment has approved plans for a second hotel on the Biltmore Estate. Despite the approval for the 152-room lodge, Biltmore Co. is still deciding whether it will move forward with the project, according to Bruce Hazzard, a consultant on the project with Asheville-based Design Management. Hazzard said Biltmore probably won’t make a final decision on the project for at least several weeks. The board of adjustment also granted an exception to the county’s 50-foot high limit for (Continued on page 19)

Polk soccer’s Blair Ruth, Lennox Charles headed to East-West All-Star Match July 19 at UNC-Greensboro by Daniel Hecht

Every fall, thousands of young men throughout North Carolina participate in high school soccer. And, each summer, just 32 seniors are selected from among that pool of players to compete in the EastWest All-Star game. This year, Polk County High School will be particularly wellrepresented, as Polk graduate Blair Ruth takes the field while Polk head coach Lennox Charles oversees the coaching duties for the West All-Stars. Ruth, who originally hails from Boca Raton, Fla., has played soccer since the age of 5. “It seems like ever since he could kick a ball, he was kicking one,” said Ruth’s father, John. The family moved to Polk County in 2004, and Ruth played on the undefeated Polk Middle School teams of 2005-2006. After playing JV soccer in his freshman and sophomore years at Polk County High School, a sixinch growth spurt and a lot of hard work propelled Ruth onto the varsity squad in his junior year. As a senior, the 6’2”, 200 pound midfielder was not only named all-Western Highlands Conference, but also was selected to the all-area team. Ruth first learned he had made the East-West All-Star team in the spring, when assistant coach Will Peck handed him a letter from the selection committee. “It’s a great honor to be named to the team,” said Ruth. “My whole family is planning to travel to the game.” Charles, who played soccer at

Gardner-Webb University and then stayed on as a coach for the Runnin’ Bulldogs, joined the coaching staff at PCHS in 2001 and assumed head coaching duties soon afterward. Polk teams coached by Charles have been consistently successful, with five trips to the state finals (three for the men and two for the ladies) and three state championships in the past nine years. “I’m really happy to be given

this opportunity,” said Charles. “When I look around at the other high school coaches who have been around for 15 or 20 years, for me to get this opportunity already is a very good thing.” Coach Charles and Ruth will travel this weekend to Greensboro to prepare for the game, which kicks off at 8 p.m. Tuesday, July 19 at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

Blitzen Benz wins ‘Firecracker 24’ in Nashville July 4 Competing against more than 30 race cars from the South and Midwest, Tryon’s Blitzen Benz Racing team won the ChumpCar World Series 24-hour endurance race on the Fourth of July weekend in Nashville, Tenn., a repeat of last year’s win. The Nashville SuperSpeedway’s 1.8 mile sports car road course contains nine turns as well as approximately 3/4 mile of the NASCAR oval. The race was run from Saturday afternoon non-stop through the night until Sunday afternoon, amid temperatures in the high 90s with 80 percent humidity. Baby Blitzen completed 973 laps (1,751 miles, or the distance from Tryon to Rock Springs, Wyo.) over 24 hours. The four drivers, whose average age is in the 60s (Warren Board, Ned Gallaher, Mark Thomas and Jim Wright), raced against much younger drivers and won by an eight-lap margin. Other team members were Rusty Tredinnick, crew chief, and Greg Pressley, mechanic. During the 2011 season, hundreds of race cars and thousands of drivers will compete in The ChumpCar World Series’ 31 endurance races held on premier

road racing courses in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Although ChumpCar does not have a points system like NASCAR, Blitzen Benz Racing has won more races in the series than any other team in the nation. Unlike very expensive professional racing series such as Formula One and NASCAR, and amateur racing such as SCCA and NASA, the ChumpCar World Series requires documented evidence that a team’s race car platform in stock condition is valued at no more than $500 in the current retail market. A racing program can be started with “chump change,” hence the series name ChumpCar. A competitive endurance race car must then be designed and engineered to be powerful, fast and – above all – durable. Unlike most auto races, which usually last from 20 minutes to a couple of hours, ChumpCar races typically are run for 7, 12 and 24 hours. Baby Blitzen, based on a 1987 Mercedes Benz 190E, has been designed and race-prepared by Ned Gallaher of Gallaher Restorations, to successfully meet these criteria. Rusty, Blitzen Benz crew chief, says that both the winning

race car and drivers must be “built to go the distance.” The car must be light and powerful enough to accelerate quickly and maintain top speed for long periods, as well as brake forcefully and change gears thousands of times during an endurance race. It must be powerful, agile, fuel-efficient and the clutch, brakes, tires and suspension must be durable. Drivers must be skillful and fast enough to drive the car quickly, smoothly and consistently for two-hour stints, a test of physical strength and coordination as well as sustained intense concentration. According to the crew chief, he couples car and drivers with a strategic plan, scheduling pit stops for driver changes, fuel and tires, then makes tactical decisions during the race to alter track posi-

tion based on competitors’ performance, accidents and weather to produce regular podium finishes. Since winning at Rockingham in the spring, Blitzen Benz placed fourth in two seven-hour races at Roebling Road (Savannah, Ga.), and at Charlotte Motor Speedway one car finished fourth and a second car finished 13th. In addition to owner/builder Gallaher’s and other team members’ investments, Alan Warner is a primary sponsor. The team would welcome other local sponsors. The Blitzen Benz team will race Baby Blitzen next against 80-plus cars in “The VIR 24,” scheduled at the Virginia International Raceway on July 30-31. – article submitted by Warren Board

Foothills Humane Society announces the second annual chicken soup challenge fund drive. Chicken soup fund was established as a specific fund for animals with medical needs that would otherwise have to be euthanized without special and expensive treatment. The chicken soup fund allows Foothills to pay for these special needs cases, nurse the sick back to health and prepare them for their new home. The $5,000 matching funds challenge was offered by the anonymous adoptive parents of Remy, a kitten the parents adopted from the shelter in 2009. Remy had a chronic eye condition that required the removal of his eye, which the shelter could not afford. The adopters said they had never had such a wonderful animal and wanted to make sure that others like him

were not euthanized due to lack of funds. Another example is Toby, a Portugese water dog brought into the shelter after being hit by a car. The chicken soup fund paid for Toby’s emergency surgery. Toby ended up losing a leg. The Eberius family fostered Toby and oversaw his recovery. When Toby was well and ready for adoption, the Eberius family had fallen for him and gave him his forever home. This is only one of many happy endings due to the chicken soup fund. The summer challenge for matching funds ends Aug. 31. Donations can be made online www.foothillshumanesociety. org or by mail to 989 Little Mountain Road, Columbus, NC 28722. Please mark donations “Chicken Soup Challenge.” – article submitted by Libbie Johnson

Seniors can discover ways to shape up while sitting down Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about chair exercises for seniors? I have some balance problems along with arthritis in my left knee which limits my mobility. A friend recommended chair exercises as a good way to get moving but I don’t know where to start. What can you tell me? Sedentary Senior Dear Sedentary, For seniors with balance problems or other health conditions that restrict their mobility, chair exercises are a gentle and safe way to shape up while you’re sitting down. Here’s what you should know, along with some tools and resources to help get you started. Chair exercises Many people find it hard to believe, but the health benefits of chair exercises can be significant for seniors. Chair exercises can help you build muscle strength and endurance, improve your flexibility and balance, and boost your circulation and metabolism. Your doctor or physical therapist can be great resources to help you learn more. All you need is a sturdy, four-legged chair that sits flat on the floor. Don’t use a rocking chair or a large cushioned chair that doesn’t provide support. To get you started, there are lots of great instructional DVDs, VHS tapes and books you can purchase to guide you through a wide variety of chair exercises that you can do at home. To find these products try websites like Sit And Be Fit (sitandbefit.org, 888-678-9438), a non-profit organization that has a chair exercise television program on many PBS stations around the country, and sells dozens of DVDs, videotapes, CDs and books on different exercise programs depending on your needs and ailments. Another great chair fitness option you should check into is “chair yoga,” which is ideal for improving your flexibility and range-of-

Savvy Senior motion. Some good resources for finding chair yoga instructional videos and DVDs are yogaheart. com, peggycappy.com and strongerseniors.com which also offers chair exercise DVDs. Also see Chair Dancing International (chairdancing.com, 800551-4386), a company that offers a variety of chair exercise videos that incorporates gentle no-impact dance moves into their routines. Group classes If you don’t like exercising alone or need some motivation, call you local senior center to see if they may offer chair exercise classes – many do. Or, consider joining SilverSneakers (silversneakers. com, 888-423-4632) or Silver&Fit (www.silverandfit.com, 877-427-

4788). These are fitness programs offered in fitness centers, gyms and YMCAs throughout the U.S. that offer special exercise classes designed exclusively for seniors including chair exercisers. Exercise equipment There are also several pieces of equipment you might want to purchase to enhance your chair exercises. To boost your circulation, balance and leg strength consider a pedal exerciser (prices range from $25 to over $100), which will give you a bicycle-type workout from your chair. It can also be set on a table to exercise your arms. The Sit-N-Stroll Portable Foot Exerciser is another handy tool for stimulating leg circulation. And for chair strength training exercises, there are elastic bands, small hand weights and medicine balls you can purchase for around

$10 that provide muscle toning resistance. You can find all these products at sporting goods stores, or online at amazon.com. Cans of soup, water bottles or milk containers filled with water or sand could also be used (like small hand weights) for resistance training. Another great strength training tool you should know about is the Resistance Chair (it costs $280). This is an all-in-one home fitness system that helps senior’s maintain and improve their strength from a safe, seated position. To learn more see vqactioncare. com or call 800-585-4920. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.
