“This is such a good thing for artists and the economy of Polk County,” said Morehead.

Photographers Ford and Mara Smith have participated in Art Trek since its inception. For the first two years, they displayed their work in different galleries.

This summer, they are opening their Tryon home/office/studio to the public.

Traveling the North American continent for almost 10 years, couple documented their 0tfn3tue the - page 7 experiences with journals and photographs. Their imagery has been published for more than 20 years in newspapers, journals and magazines.

Over the years they’ve placed in contests and had their photographs selected for books, calendars, periodicals, marketing materials and websites, as well as three different stock banks. Settling in Tryon in 1996, their work is carried at Kathleen’s Gallery in Tryon and at The Purple Onion in Saluda.

“We’re selecting all new imagery to print [for Art Trek]. Each

giclée print is hand-pulled and printed with archival inks on archival papers and we’ve ordered a different style of frame,” said Ford Smith, who will also show a number of different post-processing tips such as how to restore an old photo, make the sky blue in an image or add an artistic effect to a blurry image that has good composition. The couple will also have copies of some of the books they have co-authored.

New to this year’s ArtTrek are Jay and Corrie Lichty.

Although they have been in the Tryon area for more than 30 years, they only opened Lichty Guitars two years ago.

“We are a new business so are always looking at ways to get the word out,” said Jay Lichty.

A musician all his life, Jay built homes for most of his professional career. When the economic downturn impacted the home construction industry, he started building a ukulele in his free time. He took a guitar-building workshop with renowned custom guitar builder, Wayne Henderson and has not (Continued on page 6)

Harris was brought into the sheriff’s office Thursday, July 28 after indictments were handed down by a Polk County grand jury this week.

The incident occurred on June 21. Capps said the mother took the baby to a Rutherford County doctor after the baby was lethargic and difficult to wake up. The doctor’s office sent the baby to Rutherford Hospital. Because of the nature of the baby’s injuries, Capps said, the baby was sent to Mission Hospital in Asheville.

The baby suffered bleeding on both sides of the brain and a skull fracture, according to Capps.

Columbus drafts more stringent peddler/vendor ordinance

by Leah Justice

The Town of Columbus is working to finalize more strict language to regulate peddlers and vendors within the town’s zoning districts.

Columbus Town Council met Thursday, July 21 and tabled a decision to adopt the amended ordinance in order to add language that will allow non-profits and school groups to solicit residences.

The town held a public hearing where no residents made public comments.

The proposed provisions of the amended ordinance include restricting commercial door-to-door sales people from going to residences.

Council members have said they don’t want residents to have unknown persons come

to their homes when they have not been invited.

The language exempting non-profits from the door-todoor portion of the regulations could require non-profit organizations to go to town hall and receive a badge or permit allowing for fundraising. Politicians could also be included in the exemption.

Council members said that way if someone calls about door-to-door solicitation, town officials will know who is allowed to be visiting homes.

“It shall be unlawful for any person to go in or upon, or permit his or her representative to go in or upon, any private residential premises in the town as solicitor, peddler, hawker, itinerant

merchant or transient vendor of merchandise, not having been requested or invited so to do by the occupant of the private residence or premises or having procured the occupant’s permission so to do, for the purpose of soliciting orders for the sale of goods, wares, magazines or other periodicals or merchandise, or for the purpose of distributing, disposing of, peddling or hawking the same,” states the draft ordinance.

The rules for temporary retail sales are proposed to become more stringent, including requiring a vendor to inform the town if he/she has ever been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor other than a minor traffic violation.

A temporary use permit

application is proposed to be required at least seven days before the temporary sales use as well as the applicant being required to submit a site plan, among other requirements.

Temporary use permits are required for the sale of any food, cut flowers, beverages or merchandise from a stand.

Columbus council members began discussing their desire for more strict regulations regarding vendors earlier this year. Council members said they think some temporary sales operations allowed in town hurt local businesses, which pay taxes to support the town.

Council will likely approve the amended ordinance at its next meeting scheduled for Aug. 18.

John Vining receives honorary state FFA degree John Vining, Polk County Cooperative Extension Service Director, was awarded a honorary Future Farmers of America (FFA) degree by the North Carolina FFA Association for his dedication and support of the Polk County High School (PCHS) FFA program.

Vining received the award at the 83 rd North Carolina FFA State Convention, which was held in Raleigh June 21-23.

The North Carolina FFA Association Honorary FFA Degree awards are designed to recognize outstanding community members who have devoted time and support to local FFA chapters. Kevin Bailey and Chauncey Barber, agricultural instructors at PCHS, nominated Vining for the award.

“You can be at a meeting on the other side of the state and people have heard of John and what he is doing or has done for this community,” Bailey said.

Vining has been instrumental in

coordinating many projects for the PCHS FFA, such as the ongoing landscaping of PCHS and helping develop the muscadine vineyard at the school farm.

“The guy never gets enough credit for what he does,” Barber said. “Many of us can say John has been a mentor and friend. He is something special.”

The Panthers will gather at Wofford College for their annual three-week camp that attracts many visitors and provides a boost for local businesses. Last year the camp attracted nearly 27,000 visitors. Chris Jennings, executive director of the Spartanburg Convention and Visitors Bureau, said this year’s camp likely will draw even more interest. Media members and fans will be eager to get a look at new Panthers’ head coach Ron Rivera

and quarterback Cam Newton, the first overall pick in the 2011 draft.

According to Jennings, the economic impact of the camp in direct spending is estimated at close to $800,000, and this year’s total likely will be higher.

The Panthers have trained each summer at Wofford College since their inaugural season in 1995.

According to the Panthers’ website, the training camp, held at Wofford’s 60,000-square-foot Richardson Physical Activities Building, has been ranked in the top five in the league for fan friendliness.

All training camp practices are free and open to the public. The first practice will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday. Another will be held at 10:45 a.m. on Sunday.

*** Much of Buncombe County and Asheville will move, along with Polk County, from North Carolina’s 11th Congressional District to the 10th District, according to a redistricting map approved this week by the N.C. General Assembly.

More than half of the residents of Buncombe County and more than three quarters of the residents of Asheville would be shifted from the 11th to the 10th district if the map is approved by a federal court and U.S. attorneys. Those residents would join the residents of Polk, Rutherford, Cleveland, Gaston, Lincoln and Catawba counties in the 10th district.

Except for the portion of Buncombe County that’s in the 10th district, the 11th district would include all of the far western counties of the state, including Henderson County.

burg County because it combines the metropolitan areas of both Spartanburg and Greenville counties in a new 4th Congressional District.

The western part of Spartanburg County, which includes about 40 percent of the county’s residents, would be grouped with the eastern half of Greenville County, which includes about 60 percent of the county’s residents.

A previously proposed redistricting map separated Spartanburg County from Greenville County, potentially limiting its influence in Columbia. The final map approved by the legislature moves about 19,000 Spartanburg County residents from the Chesnee area to the 5th Congressional District, while a large part of southern Greenville County is moved to the 3rd District.

The Republican-led legislature agreed to put the state’s new congressional district in the Upstate, improving chances that it will result in another Republican representing South Carolina in Washington.

The N.C. House approved the override by a vote of 72-47, drawing applause from pro-life advocates in the gallery. Following the override vote, Gov. Perdue said the Republican’s social agenda has “invaded a woman’s life as never before – by marching straight into her doctor’s office and dictating the medical advice and treatment she receives.”

The N.C. Senate was expected to consider an override of the veto on Thursday. *** (Continued on page 23)

nered with the Culinary Institute at Greenville Tech to revamp the district’s lunch menu and offer healthier options.

The district is putting 300 cafeteria workers through culinary training this summer. They are learning how to make salads, salad dressing, homemade soups, whole-grain pastas, black bean burgers and tofu.

Jennifer Sharp, the nutritionist for Greenville County Schools, said the district has fifth graders with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and Type 2 diabetes and needs to do something to improve the health of students. She adds that 41 percent of the county’s children are overweight or obese.

“If we are giving them something that will keep them full longer and help their brain power, how do you argue with that?” she said.

State Administrative Law Judge Joe Webster issued a ruling this week that allows schools in Macon County, N.C., to start the new school year earlier than required by state law.

The state requires a 10-week summer vacation, but the district received a waiver to start three weeks earlier in order to help students who are falling behind and improve reading skills for many of the students.

The district said the earlier start will allow it to schedule week-long remedial reading sessions at three different times during the year.

The group “Save our SummersNorth Carolina,” along with a parent, challenged the waiver given to the district by the N.C. Board of Education. The plaintiffs were seeking an injunction to stop the district from starting school ahead of schedule. However, Judge Webster ruled that the plaintiffs did not sufficiently show a hardship caused by the earlier start.

The exception offered by the state board and the ruling by Judge Webster may clear the way for other districts to seek such exceptions in the future, said school officials.

Students in Macon County won’t be alone when they return to school next week. Schools in Ashe, Avery and Madison counties are also starting next week because they have lost many days as a result of heavy snow in recent years.

While the new space will not add additional square-feet to available gallery space, Kahn said it will allow for a better use of space. The building being leased allows TPS to incorporate both painters and sculptors studios, a small kitchen and gallery space. The building’s one-level back entrance will also make it more accessible to those in the community who cannot climb stairs, Kahn said.

TPS members began renovations earlier this month, including tearing down a wall and repainting in the leased space of the Butler Building.

Tryon Business and Tourism Coordinator Crys Armbrust also organized area contractors Larry Eckstein, John Massengill

Kathy Toomey, president of Tryon Multiple Listing Service and Madelon Wallace of Walker Wallace Emerson Real Estate in Landrum.

Panelists will discuss how property investment now impacts personal portfolios.

Kelly Phipps’ work blends classical realism and impressionism. Phipps is a member of the Western North Carolina Plein Air Painters.

Phipps said, “Painting from life is a joyous and fulfilling process. When one can let go and simply see the subject, one realizes that everything is there already, laid out and generously given to those who care to stop and see.

It’s a humbling and wondrous feeling that life gives so freely… all I have to do as an artist is let go of all my presumptions about a subject and say ‘yes’ to all that my subject offers.”

“Women of Western North Carolina” will run at Skyuka Fine Art from July 30 – Sept. 1. There will be an opening reception on July 30 from 5 – 8 p.m.

Lady Wolverines pay a summertime tax for fall athletic success

By Daniel Hecht

It’s just a shade past 9 o’clock on a recent Wednesday morning, and thermometers across Polk County are already pegged at nearly 90 degrees. The sweltering temperatures that have gripped much of the Eastern United States for the past two weeks have certainly not spared the usually temperate foothills, and at times it seems like there is no end in sight to the brutal heat wave of 2011.

For middle and high school students fortunate enough to have the summer off, there are seemingly limitless opportunities to beat the oppressive heat.

Whether tubing down the Green, kicking back at the lake or taking a drive down to the beach, there are plenty of ways for Polk County teens to chill out and keep cool during one of the longest, and hottest, summers in recent memory.

All of which begs the question – what in the world are eight teenage girls, seemingly in possession of their mental faculties, doing pumping iron in the Lady Wolverines weight room at Polk County High School on a mid-July day when the mercury threatens to approach triple digits?

According to rising junior Makenzie White, it all boils down to a desire to excel.

“If you want to be good in your fall sport, you need to work out in the summer, and train for the sport that you’re going to be playing,” explains White, taking a short break from the leg press station. “It’s just a ‘want-to’

thing – a desire to get better on your own.”

No one has asked these girls to be here – attendance is completely voluntary yet most will show up four days a week through the summer, working to strengthen their bodies under the tutelage of Polk County High’s Athletic Director Jeff Wilson. As Wilson explained, the Lady Wolverines weight room is open to anyone who wants to come out and work.

“Band students, middle school football, baseball, whatever,” said Wilson. “We just want to (Continued on page 31)

help kids – anyone who wants to get better. You watch us work – there’s not a lot of goofing around.”

Indeed, the atmosphere is all business, as Wilson rotates the girls, divided into groups of four, through 25 to 30 different exercises, tracking progress on a large dry erase board. Wilson is quick to praise his fellow coaches for their contributions.

“I give a lot of credit to our female PE teachers,” said Wilson.

“They’ve done a great job teaching weight training – these girls

know what they are doing, and we’ll just keep on developing.”

As Wilson points out, athletic success during the school year is in direct proportion to the price athletes are willing to pay through the summer.

“Strength, footwork, speed, coordination – all of the intangibles are gained in this room,” explained Wilson.

One thing seems certain – if the level of commitment demonstrated here on this steamy morning is any indication, the rest of the Western Highlands Conference is going to have their hands full competing against Lady Wolverines teams this coming year.

With a new outpost in downtown Saluda, their mission is to provide river experiences for young or old, inexperienced or veteran. Green River Adventures offers three services; white water kayak instruction, guided inflatable kayak trips and waterfall hikes.

The Green River starts in Henderson County and is known internationally for the narrows class IV rapids. The Green River water flow is controlled by Duke energy. This provides for about 300 days per year that are suitable for kayaking. Kiwanis Club members later participated in an adventure down the lower Green River.

St. Luke’s uses grant for patient rooms The Polk County community foundation recently granted St. Luke’s Hospital $20,000 to assist with patient room upgrades.

As part of St. Luke’s Building on Excellence campaign, the hospital is purchasing and installing new hospital beds, mattresses and flat-screen televisions in patient rooms.

The adjustable, electric hospital beds have design innovations to improve patient safety and comfort, including: enhanced patient positioning, improved alarm systems, indirect lighting systems, improved braking and easier-to-use controls. The bed’s low position and improved alarm system are designed for improved patient safety and reduced staff injuries from lifting.

“I think it’s wonderful that the

Polk County Community Foundation has granted our Foundation’s request,” said Sandy Brooks, RN, chief nursing officer at St. Luke’s Hospital. “Patient safety and comfort are paramount to recovery, so we greatly appreciate the Foundation’s support in purchasing these new beds.”

As part of the planned patient room upgrade, the hospital will also install new flat-screen, highdefinition televisions to provide entertainment, information and educational content for the hospital’s patients and visitors.

Completion of the project is expected by September 2011. For additional information, please contact the St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation at 828-894-2693.

of events. So, if your goal is to distort and misrepresent the facts, what part of your story am I supposed to believe?

Answer: None of it.

So why do these news show “talkers” have so many dedicated followers? They present nice, neat little arguments to solve complex societal challenges by relying on “base ideological” theories.

History tells us they don’t work, but they keep at it.

If you disagree with them, they demonize you in much the same way the “Senator McCarthy” did in his very destructive crusade in the 50s against the “communist scourge.” And now we have the Rupert Murdoch example of a motivated “right wing” crusader dominating the major news outlets in an effort to eliminate “balanced” news (e.g., The Wall Street Journal).

My point is that “we the people” need to be more discerning. We can no longer trust “professional journalists” and the owners of news outlets to be independent thinkers and conduct a reasonable level of research.

They now let their own political leanings corrupt their news and views. First it was the “liberal” media and now it’s the “right wing” media.

Personally, I’d like to see a “thinking media” trend in this country that honestly tried balanced reporting.

Of course, they’d have to put up with the “Right Wing” calling them liberal and the “Left Wing” calling them “right wingers.”

Unfortunately, good journalism is not very profitable, I guess.

Another battle won A few weeks ago I told the tale of Hannah Belle and Jewel.

Last week’s story about Jewel told of how we’re going to go the extra mile to save her.

As of this writing, we are still waiting for an appointment with Upstate to make an attempt to better and prolong her life. For now she is doing wonderfully and looks like the picture of health, but looks are deceiving, this is one sick pup. Everyone is doing what they can, just continue to keep her in your prayers.

Humane Society Special Cases Leonard Rizzo

Now, a little recap on Hannah Belle.

She is the little black and tan coonhound who was found weak and dying on the side of the road. The pitiful little girl weighed in at 19 ½ pounds (less than half the weight she should be) and didn’t even have the strength to stand.

After all tests were done, it was learned that there wasn’t anything wrong with this girl that some care and a healthy diet wouldn’t cure. This was good news but it also told me something else.

Hannah Belle had probably been malnourished for a very long time and then simply discarded. I’m assuming it’s probably that same old (that dog won’t hunt) story.

She is tiny for her breed and I’m sure her being starved added to the fact that she’ll always be small. As a matter of fact, when I first saw her I thought she was a puppy, when in actuality she is estimated to be between 3 and 4 years old. A normal weight for a female of her breed would be around 55 pounds, but Hannah Belle will fill out at around 40 pounds.

From the very beginning Hannah Belle has been a sweet and loving girl and that hasn’t changed one iota.

Hannah Belle (photo submitted)

The folks at Landrum vet have done a wonderful job with this girl and this morning I took her for a walk. She did her business like the good girl that she is and then proceeded to shower me with love.

I couldn’t keep my hands off of her and she soaked up every minute of it. She weighed in at just over 30 pounds and this battle has been won in more

ways than one.

She’s due to be spayed next week and has already been adopted into a loving home.

Upon leaving Hannah Belle, I took her in my arms and asked, “Are you happy that Uncle Lennie kept his word to you?”

With that she licked my nose and I responded laughing, “I’ll take that as a yes.”

Resources for today’s job-hunting seniors Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend some good resources to help job hunting seniors? I’m 60 years old and have been out of work for nearly six months now and need some help. What can you tell me?

Seeking Employment Dear Seeking, The tough employment market over the past few years has been particularly hard on people over the age of 55.

Fortunately, there are a number of online tools and in-person training centers scattered across the country today that can help. Here’s what you should know.

In-person help A good first step to get help finding a job is at a Career One-Stop center.

Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor, these are free job resource centers that can help you explore career options, search for jobs, find training, write a resume, prepare for an interview and much more. There are almost 3,000 of these centers located throughout the country. To find one near you, call 877348-0502 or go to careeronestop.org.

Depending on your financial situation, another program that may help is the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP).

Also sponsored by the Department of Labor, SCSEP offers access to training and part time job placements in a wide variety of community service positions such as day care centers, senior centers, governmental agencies, schools, hospitals, libraries and landscaping centers.

To qualify, participants must be over 55, unemployed and earning less than 125 percent of the federal poverty level – $13,600 a year.

Savvy Senior Unfortunately, 2011 federal budget cuts have significantly reduced this program funding, but it’s still a viable option.

To learn more or locate a program in your area visit www.doleta.gov/seniors or call 877-872-5627.

In addition to the national resources, some states, communities and local nonprofit organizations may offer their own senior employment programs.

For example, in certain areas in Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Texas, Vermont, Washington state and Wisconsin, there are Aging Worker Initiative programs to help local job seekers 55 and older.

To find out if your community offers any locally-based senior employment programs, contact the Area Agency on Aging – call 800-677-1116 or see www.eldercare.gov to get your local number.

AARP WorkSearch Another resource that offers free job help is the AARP Foundation WorkSearch Virtual Job Coach program.

This is a volunteer-run program that helps any jobseeker (you don’t need to be an AARP member), age 40 and older, by connecting you with a trained volunteer to help you search for jobs and get training.

The coaching is typically done via email or over the phone. Call 877-659-0969 or visit aarpworksearch.org to find help.

In addition, AARP also offers a jobs search engine that you can access at jobs. aarp.org.

Or, if you want in-person assistance, AARP has 23 WorkSearch facilities around the country that provide free

face-to-face help.

To search for a facility, contact your state AARP office. See aarp.org/states or call 888-687-2277 for contact information.

Online resources There’s also a wide array of online employment networks that can help you connect with companies that are interested in hiring older workers.

One of the best is retirementjobs.com, which offers a job search engine that lists more than 30,000 jobs nationwide from companies that are actively seeking workers over the age of 50. It also provides job-seeking tips and advice, helps with resume writing and allows you to post your resume online for companies to find you.

Some other 50-plus job seeking sites worth a look are seniors4hire.com, workforce50.com, retiredbrains. com, retireeworkforce.com, wiserworker.com, seniorjobbank.com, enrge.us (a site devoted to retired government employees) and yourencore. com (an online recruitment firm that connects retired scientists, developers and engineers with companies that offer consulting assignments).

Start a business If you’re interested in starting a small business but could use some help getting started, turn to the U.S. Small Business Administration which offers tips, tools and free online courses that you can access at sba.gov . Also see score.org a nonprofit association that provides free business advice for entrepreneurs.

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.
