Polk County sheriff’s office recovers stolen DOT tractor by Leah Justice

A tractor being rented by the N.C. Department of Transportation (DOT) was stolen recently. The Polk County Sheriff’s Office has made an arrest in connection with the theft. Jason Metcalf, 34, of 152 Hoot Owl Lane, Mill Spring, was arrested and charged with felony larceny and felony possession of stolen property, according to Det. Michael Capps.

Metcalf was arrested on Friday, July 29. The 3320 John Deere four-wheel-drive tractor with front end loader was discovered in Metcalf’s possession and recovered, said Capps. The tractor was stolen from U.S. 74, just prior to the Pea Ridge exit, according to reports. Metcalf was being held as of Friday, July 29 on a $50,000 bond, according to sheriff’s office reports.

En plein air is a French expression which means “in the open air” and is used to describe outdoor painting, which has been in vogue since the time of the Impressionists. If you are a painter (beginner, advanced or professional) who would like to paint outdoors, the Tryon Area Plein Air Society (TAPAS) is continuing the

tradition and welcomes new members. In addition to participating in and promoting plein air painting, TAPAS is for connecting members with one another as painting companions and providing opportunities to paint local landscapes outdoors. The group also promotes community awareness of plein-air painting through exhibits and the organization of paint-outs. There are no membership costs or dues for TAPAS group participation, but please bring your own supplies.

Sheriff partners with ICE to deport illegal aliens who have been arrested for crimes

A conscientious reader of the Bulletin pointed out to our staff earlier this week that the headline “Polk sheriff partners with ICE to deport illegal aliens” that ran in the Monday, Aug. 1 edition could be misleading. She said she feared it would cause undocumented individuals from looking to the police for help when a crime was committed against them. She was in fact particularly concerned about women or children who might find themselves in dangerous situations. Although the headline was not inaccurate, she was right to point out that it didn’t tell the full story. The story noted within its contents that Polk County Sheriff Donald Hill in fact was working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement or ICE to deport illegal aliens. But the undocumented individuals being departed are those who have been arrested for committing a specific crime. Sheriff Hill is not on the watch to specifically deport undocumented individuals, as he made clear by saying, “I don’t mind people coming here to make an honest living. What we’re looking for are the ones who have criminal records. My job is to protect the citizens of Polk County and I don’t think they need to be here if they are going to commit crimes.” This means Hill and his staff are working in a more direct fashion with ICE to make sure criminals from other countries do not remain in this country and specifically not in Polk County. We hope the headline did not cause distress in the way this reader felt it might have. Like anyone being victimized, all individuals should feel free to approach a law enforcement officer for help. Our local sheriff’s deputies are committed to keeping those living in Polk County safe. We hope anyone needing their assistance will continue to seek them out. (Continued on page 9)

St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation’s sixth annual Ache Around the Lake Run/Walk Set for Sept. 24 Even in these sweltering summer temperatures, runners and walkers in the Polk County area are in training for the sixth annual Ache Around the Lake Run/Walk - a benefit for St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation set for Saturday, Sept. 24 at 8 a.m. at Lake Lanier near Tryon. Ache Around the Lake is a community event that includes three ways to support non-profit St. Luke’s Hospital: The Ache (8K or 5 miles), The Ouch (a two-mile fun run) and a race morning brunch at the historic Lake Lanier Tea House. St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation will use the dollars raised through this year’s Ache Around the Lake to go toward the purchase of an Omnicell One-cell Omnisupplier for an-

esthesia. Hospital officials said the Omnicell supply system will give St. Luke’s a secure and flexible means of managing anestesia supplies and medication, improving patient care and safety. This technology will provide quick access to supplies and extensive reporting tools at the touch of a few buttons, the hospital said. The electronic documentation software will help St. Luke’s meet regulatory requirements while the convenience of secure, inroom medication storage will offer anesthesia providers and nursing staff additional time to focus on patient care. The Ache course is an 8K (4.97 miles) USATF-certified course. It has many inclines

Race facts • Both races will be professionally timed by It’s About Time timing company from Greenville, S.C. Only the 8K is USATFcertified. • Hand-crafted pottery and sculpted metal awards will be given to the top three winners in the overall, masters and age group categories for the Ache. • A Top Dog award will go to the fastest canine-human team. • The Millard & Co. Challenge offers a $250 cash prize to the male or female breaking the course record for their category. and switchbacks, with the last half mile being relatively flat. Scenic views of this hidden mountain lake make The Ache an unforgettable fall road race, organizers said. The Ouch offers race participants a fun two-miler with a few hills. The Race Morning Brunch at the Tea House (7:30 - 10:30

a.m.) offers a delectable menu and autumn views of Lake Lanier as racers make their way to the nearby finish line. This is the perfect way to support St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation for those who would rather dine and cheer instead of “ache” and (Continued on page 11)

Foothills Economic Partnership creates new area map The Foothills Economic Partnership (FEP), through the Carolina Foothills Chamber, has completed a project begun last year: a new full-color area map, complete with a county map and town maps. Points of interest are indicated and the map is designed to be easy to read. The unusual feature of this map is that it crosses the state line and includes both Polk County and Landrum, which will reflect the area that is served by the local business and leisure communities. There are no ads on the map, but panels from each of the contributors promote the area. The chamber is selling the map; 10,000 copies are available. The map project was a collective effort of the FEP com(Continued on page 15)

Charlie Hirst Lovelace

Charlie Hirst Lovelace, 94, of Clemson Downs, Clemson, S.C., passed away peacefully Sunday, July 31, 2011. Born in Kansas City, Kansas, Oct. 19, 1916, he was a son of the late Charlie Wilson and Eva Hirst Lovelace. Charlie lived for two years in London, England in the early 1920s, where his father built the first modern “off the street” filling stations. Mr. Lovelace graduated from Southwest High School and K.C. Junior College in Kansas City, Mo. He graduated from the Univ. of Kansas and received his degree in mechanical engineering. He was a member of Beta Theta Pi social fraternity and Tau Beta Pi and Sigma Tau honorary engineering fraternities. Most of his adult life was spent working with Crane Co., where he held a number of positions including vice-president of sales and vice-president, industrial group, where he was in charge of engineering, manufacturing and sales of Crane valves and fittings in the U.S.A. and Mexico. He retired from Crane Co. in 1979 and moved to Tryon in 1983. He was a charter member of Whitehaven, Tenn. (now part of Memphis) Lions Club, member of the American Society of Na-

mittee and the brainchild of Wallace, along with the map expertise of Young. The map was made possible by contributions from Polk County Agricultural Development, Polk County Economic Development, the Town of Saluda, the City of Landrum, the Polk

val Engineers and U.S. Navy Machinery Advisory Group. He was a former board member of Tryon Rotary Club; former trustee of Tryon Congregational Church; former member of Tryon Country Club and Red Fox Country Club and its Four Fifths Club. He maintained a residence at 111 Church Street in Black Mountain, N.C., until this year. His greatest joys were golf, fishing, hunting and dancing – he loved to dance. Surviving are his wife of 70 years, Marjorie Boggs Lovelace of Clemson, S.C.; two sons and daughters-in-law, Charlie H. and Linda Lovelace Jr. of Seneca, S.C., and John S. and Dickie Lovelace of San Antonio, Texas; three grandchildren, three stepgrandchildren and nine greatgrandchildren. Friends and relatives are cordially invited to attend his memorial service Friday, Aug. 5 at 10 a.m. in the Corley Center of Clemson Downs. No formal visitation is planned. In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests memorials in Charlie’s honor be made to the charity of one’s choice. The family will be at the home of the son, Charlie Lovelace Jr., 315 Amethyst Way, Seneca, S.C. 29672. Memorial messages may be sent to the family by visiting www.libertymortuary.com. Liberty Mortuary and Cremation Services is handling arrangements. County Board of Realtors, the Town of Tryon and the Carolina Foothills Chamber of Commerce. The Foothills Economic Partnership is an ad-hoc group that formed 2½ years ago and meets monthly at the chamber to share ideas and projects related to all aspects of the communities. – article submitted by Janet Sciacca

Polk Wellness Center offers tips to improve wellness Merriam-Webster’s dictionary defines wellness as “the quality or state of being in good health especially as an actively sought goal.” Taking a proactive approach to one’s health and wellness is not revolutionary, but is often times difficult to embrace as we go about our daily lives. Inevitably, wellness takes a backseat to other priorities or life struggles. This new column, brought to you by the staff at Polk Wellness Center, will be dedicated to helping you make wellness a fundamental part of your daily life by providing insight and tangible strategies to manage your physical and mental health. Located in Columbus, Polk Wellness Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that uses a comprehensive, integrated model to provide family medical care, mental health, substance abuse counseling and prevention, education, wellness and recovery support services. The center has served patients from Saluda to Landrum since 2008, offering various payment options including insurance and a sliding-scale fee system.

Journey to wellness by Jim Nagi

As a therapist and the Director of Polk Wellness Center, I work closely with… with Clinical Director Dr. Gordon Schneider, PhD and Medical Director Dr. Jeffrey Viar, D.O. to manage a team of therapists and medical practitioners. Nagi, Randy Grant, Laura Ellington, Rob Fuller, and Bobbie Shannon each bring a unique specialty to the practice, offering different modalities for treatment and wellness. Since July of this year, Polk Wellness Center has offered medical services with the addition of physician assistant Amanda S. Hovis to its integrated care staff. Hovis - a physician assistant with a masters degree in health science from Duke University - brings with her extensive experience in family practice and pediatrics. Polk Wellness Center recognizes the importance of the mind-body connection and incorporates that mindset into its treatment protocol to help

patients navigate their journey to wellness. That focus enables a patient to receive a truly integrated care experience. Often times, there is a direct connection between the body’s state of health and the mind. For example, a patient with a chronic illness that causes pain or disability may not realize that the illness has a mental component. Not being able to work or enjoy time with family due to a debilitating condition can understandably cause depression or anxiety. While the body is the primary focus for the medical team, there is the recognition of a possible residual effect on the mind. At Polk Wellness Center, the staff is trained to offer that patient “total care,” helping him or her reach a true state of physical and mental wellness. Upcoming articles in this column will identify ways to achieve wellness and address underlying conditions that may be hindering you from taking control over your health. For more information about Polk Wellness Center, visit www. polkwellness.org or call 828894-2222.

Home cooked breakfast proceeds to help area elementary teachers buy school supplies Start your day with a homecooked breakfast on Saturday, Aug. 6, 8 - 10:30 a.m., and as a bonus you will help get the school year off to a good start. The Democratic headquarters in Columbus will host a community breakfast for a small contribution that will go toward the purchase of classroom supplies for the students in Polk County elementary schools. The morning will include

a full farm fresh breakfast of blueberry pancakes, locally made sausage, egg casserole and fruit. Funding cuts to the state education budget have cut supplies to schools. This means teachers and students need your help to purchase those supplies. That is why the local Democratic Women’s Club has come forward to fill the gap with your help. A special appeal goes to

the parents, grandparents and families of elementary students at Sunny View, Polk Central, Tryon and Saluda schools, since all monies contributed at this breakfast will be given to teachers at these schools. The Democratic headquarters is located at 64 Ward Street in Columbus, just down from the Columbus Farmer’s Market. – article submitted by Margaret Johnson
