Medicap Pharmacy in Columbus robbed Suspect in custody after initial escape by Leah Justice

Plans are under way for the annual Charlie Ward Memorial Pig Out scheduled for Sept. 10 from 4 – 7 p.m. in Saluda. Donations and volunteers are needed. If you are interested or want to contribute, contact Judy Ward at 828-749-1349 or email at judyward@charter.net. This town BBQ was started by Charlie Ward many years ago to thank residents of Saluda for patronizing his store. Ward passed away Aug. 8, 2008. The event has become a town tradition organized and funded by and for Saluda citizens as a symbol of Ward’s gift of giving.

Here’s a list of upcoming meetings and events for area nonprofit community and governmental organizations:

the identity of the suspect were released by press time yesterday. The suspect was in custody at the hospital Tuesday afternoon after allegedly ingesting medication. The suspect was described as approximately 6 feet tall with brown, curly hair beneath a ski mask, wearing blue jeans and a brown shirt, according to initial reports. The suspect escaped with a “substantial amount of prescription medication,” Beddingfield said. No money was taken and no one was harmed during the robbery. A gun was never shown, according to reports. Officers swarmed the pharmacy after a panic button was activated and a store employee called 911. The suspect fled toward the credit union, located next door to the pharmacy. Video surveillance was gathered

The couple retired to Polk County in the 1970s, and Margaret became active in the St. Luke’s Hospital Auxiliary, the Green Blades Garden Club, the Congregational Church in Tryon and Jackson’s Grove Methodist Church. Following Stuart’s death in 1985 after a battle with cancer, Margaret founded the Stuart and Margaret L. Forbes Scholarship Program at the Polk County Community Foundation.

Progress without detriment to environment, resources

While development of property can offer positive dividends for communities, it can also mean great detriment to the natural resources of an area if not handled in a controlled manner. Saluda’s board of commissioners and planning and zoning board have worked to draft an amendment to the city’s current ordinances that would place limits on projects that might cause increased sedimentation and soil erosion. In the past, the city has not mandated that individuals developing property follow any specified standards regarding the control of erosion. These new amendments, according to some commissioners, don’t even spell out the requirements as strictly as they’d like. However, putting rules in place in general prohibits more damage from being done while leaders iron out the details of a more comprehensive plan for erosion control. Some people might be frustrated by having to consult with officials before moving large amounts of land on their own property, but remember that in many cases what you do on your property can have an effect on properties around you. Saluda residents can voice their opinions on the matter through a public hearing set for Sept. 12 at 7 p.m. — Editorial staff, Tryon Daily Bulletin

It’s really nice to see more small businesses opening in Landrum. I see that a bakery is going to open soon also. I’m glad to see the entrepreneurial spirit is still alive!

Phone scams on rise in area by Samantha Hurst

Getting an unexpected call from a grandson in the middle of the day should be a joy for grandparents. But for Tryon resident Eleanor Galkowski it was troubling last week when she received what she thought was a call from her grandson, Ian. “He called and said he was in Mexico City and had been arrested and needed $1,500 to bail him out,” Galkowski said. The story the person on the phone gave her was that he had traveled down to Mexico City with his friend Matthew and Matthew’s brother who was getting married. While there Matthew had supposedly gotten too drunk to drive so her grandson said he drove and they were in a minor accident, which caused him to be arrested for a DUI. The man on the phone told Galkowski that he needed $1,500 for bail money. Galkowski said she explained to the person she thought was her grandson that she didn’t have that kind of money. The man pleaded with her further and she offered to go as far as trying to get a loan against her car to scrounge up the funds. This wouldn’t work, the man told her. Galkowski said the man posing as her grandson begged her to help him and when she told him to call his mother, he said he couldn’t because he only had one phone call. Once the man realized she had no money, he hung up on her. Galkowski said the Tryon Police Department came to her home to talk with her about the incident and said they have heard of many people falling victim to similar calls. Police Chief Jeff Arrowood said the frequency of such calls comes and goes. He said the area will receive rounds of them for several weeks and then nothing for months. He said they do this to catch people off guard. “These people just prey on people and they are very aggressive, especially if they get any

money. Then they are relentless – they’ll call 10, 15, 20 times a day,” Arrowood said. “Once someone sends the money, off it goes to another country. There is no getting it back.” Arrowood said the people posing as grandkids or sweepstakes organizations are incredibly convincing. It also doesn’t help that they often utilize a call center so it looks like an American number instead of one from Jamaica, Canada or Nigeria. Arrowood said they can be calling from anywhere in the world and people just wouldn’t know. He said the most recent scam involves sweepstakes holdings. He said the scammer will call and convince the person on the other line to give them their check routing number so they can transfer their winnings – often saying they’ve won millions. The trick is they will then take hundreds, if not thousands, out of the person’s bank account. “The ones we have been getting are people calling telling people they’ve won a sweepstakes and if they will send $3,000 they will win $3 million,” Arrowood said. “Some people have given lots of money and really believe that they are going to get lots of money in return. It’s hard to convince them they aren’t going to receive anything – that’s when we get the family involved.” Arrowood suggested families have numbers changed. He also suggests having serious conversations with elderly family members. “They need to know that if it sounds too good to be true it really probably is. The best thing to do is just hang up on them,” he said. “If they do have any questions they can call the police department and let us know what is going on.” Galkowski said she doesn’t want to see grandparents or retirees taken for money, especially when so many are actually on fixed incomes. “They are calling people here because they know it’s a retirement area,” she said. “They think they can call grandparents and try and extort a lot of money from them.”

Staying safe when walking or biking back to school The feel of a cool breeze, interesting outdoor sights, a sense of freedom, these are some of the joys many adults experienced while walking or bicycling to school as a kid.

Today, for those who live in close proximity to their school campus, walking or biking can still be a fun, rewarding and healthy way to start and end the school day.

Before the school year starts, the N.C. Department of Transportation encourages North Carolinians to take time to practice and review some basics of bicycling and walking to school with their child. “School age children have to be taught the best and safest way to walk and ride their bicycle, because most children do not understand traffic, which puts them at a greater risk of injury,” said Kumar Trivedi, interim director of NCDOT’s Division of Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation. There were 506 children ages six to 10 injured in pedestrian crashes in North Carolina between 2004 and 2008. A total of 479 children ages six to 10 were injured in bicycle crashes during that time period, accounting for 10 percent of all bicycle crashes. By working with their child, parents can help prevent these types of accidents. A way to begin is to map out what route your child is going to take to school and take advantage of free summer days to walk or ride the route a couple of times with your child. Use this time to go over some basic safety rules. Some key safety tips to share with children include:

• Look both ways when crossing a street, or coming out of an alley or driveway. • Know and learn traffic signs and pedestrian crossing signals. • Wear a helmet when bicycling, it’s the law. • When you’re on a bike, don’t do tricks in the road and keep both hands on the handlebars. • Children getting off the bus should stop and look both ways before crossing every time. Motorists should also be aware that the start of school means more children will be walking, biking or waiting at bus stops in the area. Some safety tips for motorists include: • Look for children near school crossing zones and yield to children in crosswalks. • Follow directions from school crossing guards. • Stop for school buses and be mindful of children waiting at bus stops – there is a $250 penalty for speeding in a school zone in North Carolina.

“Walk & Talk” moves to Saturday The “Walk & Talk” program at the Upstairs Artspace is moving from Sunday afternoons to one hour before opening receptions for new exhibits. This Saturday, Aug. 20, “Walk & Talk” is scheduled for 4 p.m., an hour before the reception for “Curvature and Color” (paintings), “Carolina the Beautiful”(photography) and “Souls of Clay” (figurative sculpture). Several artists from each exhibit will talk informally about their work. The audience is encouraged to ask questions. The program was designed in the 1990s to inform and inspire the general public about the art exhibited at the Upstairs. It attracts people who appreciate art and want to better understand it. It also draws artists who like to learn tricks of the trade from their peers. Following “Walk & Talk,” the reception is from 5 to 8 p.m. and includes refreshment and live music.

When life gets you down, know if it’s depression It seems that our world today bombards us with the notion of depression, especially through the media and entertainment. You do not have to look far to see or hear of depression. Images and ideas come in all forms from your child’s favorite cartoon character lamenting that he is depressed about losing his favorite toy to the stream of anti-depressant drug commercials that cleverly animate the idea of depression. So, we must know what depression looks like, right? Depression is depression. Or is it? When a new client is exhibiting symptoms of depression, diagnosis involves an in-depth assessment to determine type and severity. Depression may be chronic,

intermittent or a single episode. It may be triggered by life events such as a serious illness, loss of a job, complicated grief or a failed relationship. Clinical Depression (CD) involves symptoms such as restlessness, feelings of hopelessness, fatigue, change in appetite, persistent sadness and even thoughts of suicide, but without an external reason for these feelings. Situational Depression (SD) may involve similar symptoms though is triggered by an identifiable event or situation in one’s life. The old adage says that “life is full of ups and downs,” but

those downs can sometimes lead to one of the most treatable forms of depression. Treatment for SD includes examination of the correlation between the external stressors and the onset of symptoms, as well as the client’s mental and physical health history. A medical examination may be indicated. If there is no history of clinical depression and these symptoms appeared around the time of the major stressor, short term solution focused therapy is very effective treatment. The client will explore thoughts and feelings about the situation, put it in perspective and develop a tangible solution for moving forward. Situational Depression is common and occurs in about 10 percent of adults with men

and women equally affected. SD occurs in up to 30 percent of adolescents who often exhibit more behavioral symptoms, such as truancy in school or fighting. More than half of adults diagnosed with a serious illness experience depression symptoms related to the medical condition. Sometimes life simply gets us down, but the depression symptoms that may accompany those downturns can be resolved and that treatment is available in our community at Polk Wellness Center.
