includes Hogback Mountain, and heard rumors about the history of the plateau at the top. Then he had the opportunity to hike to the top of Hogback with Dark Corner native Clint Plumley. Plumley is a direct descendant of Morning Gosnell Plumley and John Plumley, who at one time had five generations of their family living in these mountains. The Plumleys are buried in Mountain Hill Church on Glassy Mountain. On Plumley’s maternal side, he is descended from Mille and Asbury “Berry” Emery, who are buried in the Emery and Lindsey Family Cemetery on Hogback Mountain. Plumley shared his stories of the mountains and helped Stehlik document the history of the area. Stehlik’s book is dedicated to Plumley, and “to those who (Continued on page 6)

Brock’s Cleaners, with locations in Tryon, Hendersonville and Landrum, has implemented a RRR program: reduce, re-use and recycle. Wes Sessoms of Brock’s Cleaners said they already recycle any waste from the cleaning process through a firm out of Atlanta.
Sessoms said Brock’s is looking for more ways to help the environment. The business now has hanger racks in every store to accept the return of wire hangers. To aid in the process, Brock’s now offers free boxes customers can take home, use to collect their wire hangers and return to their local Brock’s

location. The hangers will be re-used and save landfill space. Sessoms has also signed up to participate in a plastic bag recycling program, through a company that sells the plastic bags. All Brock’s locations will have collection boxes for your polyethylene (plastic) bags.
Sessoms said, “Over 86 million pounds are either in your closet or our landfills. Recycling them and other plastic bags keeps them out of the landfills, off the streets and turns them into useful products. It just makes sense.” Anyone wanting to dispose of polyethylene bags can drop them off at any of the three locations. 46 Maple St., Tryon; 121 E. Prince Rd., Landrum; 1680 Spartanburg Hwy.

Letter to the Editor
Not all facts offered in raise dispute To the Editor: Commissioner Pack, Let me start by saying that, I consider myself a staunch conservative and I have not missed voting in any election cycle since I was first eligible to vote in 1978. However, at this point I do regret casting a ballot in your favor during the last election. First of all, your statements in the Bulletin concerning the Womack Building and sheriff’s office personnel indicate a serious lack of judgment on your part. Did you give any consideration to the consequences or repercussions that such ill-conceived statements published in the local paper could
have on the morale of county employees, animosity between departments, or the stress these problems cause for our department heads? Let me answer for you – obviously not! My suggestion to you for future discussions concerning pay increases would be, you should base your statements on the merits of the individuals you wish to sponsor instead of pitting one department against another. I personally don’t agree with individual county commissioners attempting to micro-manage issues that are better resolved and managed by the county manager and his department heads or the sheriff for his personnel. It is what we pay them to do. Hey, but that is just my opinion. Your statements in the paper were at best extremely unprofessional, and as a reg-
istered voting Republican, I expect better judgment and professionalism from those I help elect to represent me. Lastly, I know that by now (if not before you made your original statements in the paper) you have been briefed about the maintenance of the Womack Building and you are aware that there are a number of buildings involved. You are also aware that the maintenance department lost the employee who was assigned to those buildings. I’m also sure you know the maintenance department chose to absorb the position with an existing employee, which probably resulted in a cost saving over hiring a replacement as well as, it kept an employee with a maintenance skill set available to the department. You know this, but you allow the public to continue to write letters to the editor of
the Bulletin about the “person who sweeps the floors at the Womack Building.” I have read recent ones by Karl Kachadorian and Keith Holbert and I’m sure there have been others that I missed. It’s a shame that these individuals, as well as county employees, are whipped into a feeding frenzy by a county commissioner who fed them a misleading half-truth. I personally think you should man up and contact the individuals personally (not in the paper, please) who are writing the paper and at least admit that you chose to not fully disclose all the information relating to the pay discrepancy. Again, it is regrettable that such an unprofessional statement is made in the local paper. Respectfully, –– Rick Edwards, Mill Spring

Foothills Fire Service area proposes 2-mill tax increase Public hearing at Tryon Fire Dept. tomorrow at 7 p.m. by Leah Justice
Lake Lanier and Greenville County areas covered by the Foothills Fire Service area may be looking at a millage increase in next year’s budget. The Foothills Fire Service Area will hold a public hearing
• Special cases (continued from page 14)
the Foothills Humane Society treasurer, and explained that when the checks arrived, that amount was to be drawn from my account and sent to Landrum vet for Jewel’s meds. I then went to Landrum vets to explain what was going on and left some money for Jewel’s care. I then took Jewel for a light walk. When we came back I took her in my arms. “We’re doing all that we can to make life easier for you, sweetheart,” I told her. “I wish I could do more.” All night long I couldn’t get the phone call I’d received on Jewel’s behalf out of my head. Early the very next morning I headed back to the vet’s office. Dr. Raines was off so I spoke with Dr. Maiola. “Tommy, do you think there’s any more we can do for Jewel to give her a chance?” “We’ll see, Lennie,” he answered and then asked the vet tech to pull up her x-rays as Gabby went to fetch her. Gabby came back with Jewel in her arms and my heart leapt as it always does upon seeing her. Tommy checked her heart and assured me that it was sound and then we proceeded to review her x-rays. He pointed out all the fluids in her lungs and then showed me the dark spots which he called
on the proposal Tuesday, July 26 at 7 p.m. at the Tryon Fire Department. The proposal is for the tax rate to increase from a millage rate of 10 mills to 12 mills, according to Foothills Fire Service Area Commissioner Richard Locke. One mill equals 1/10 of a cent. The Foothills Fire Service area includes properties of Lake Lanier and the Greenville sec-
tions from the state line along U.S. 176, Hearthstone Ridge and other areas in the northeastern corner of Greenville County near Landrum and Tryon. The fire departments of Landrum and Tryon cover the areas and are paid annual taxes from Greenville County. Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis said Tryon covers approximately 70 percent of the Foothills Fire Service area
and receives approximately $25,000 per year in tax revenue from Greenville County. The fire departments also provide first responder service in these areas. The Foothills Fire Service Commission proposes the annual tax rate with the Greenville County Council approving the final budget. Greenville County’s new budget year will begin Oct. 1.
doughnuts. “Those are air pockets,” he said. He then ordered some antibiotics and steroids that he assured me would improve her condition. “Is there anything else that can be done?” I asked. “We can send her x-rays off to Upstate in Greenville. I know the doctor who treats these cases.” “Do you think there’s a chance,
Tommy?” I asked, with my hopes rising. “There’s always a chance, Lennie.” That answer was one of the reasons why I love this man. “Let’s do it, doc, a friend that knows you is paying for her medicine and I’m sure he’d approve if I used the money he saved me on Snowy to pay for Jewel.” As of this writing the progno-
sis of what can be done for Jewel has not yet returned. No matter what happens, I can say that I tried and for that I wish to thank my anonymous donor. Your faith in me and obvious love for my kids has led me to do what I should have done in the first place. And to all of you, pray for Jewel, this sweet pup is certainly worth it. Thanks for listening.
