Teens travel to China to teach basketball, share God’s love by Samantha Hurst
Five anxious teenagers from Polk County traveled to China July 13-26, hearts prepared to share their love for God and basketball. Ashley Lynch, a recent Polk County High School graduate, made the trip. “It was not at all what I expected. I was really nervous about going over there because I thought China was really dangerous and that we wouldn’t be able to share God’s word,” said Lynch. “It was really kind of a lifechanging experience because it was very humbling and it opened my eyes to how blessed America is and how blessed we are to be able to worship openly.” The mission trip centered on the girls sharing their knowledge of the game of basketball with (Continued on page 4)

Tryon considers new lease on former Bravo building Arrangement could mean move for town visitor center by Leah Justice
The Town of Tryon is considering leasing the townowned building adjacent to town hall to Brady/Trakas Architects, which could mean moving the town’s visitor center and trading out space for architectural services. Tryon Town Council met Tuesday, Aug. 16 and tabled a decision on leasing the building. The town is drafting an exact lease and still needs to discuss the possibility of relocating the visitor center, which is currently run by volunteers in town hall space. The building formerly housed Bravo Interior Designs and before that was the Upstairs Gallery (now the Upstairs Artspace) for many years. Tryon Town Manager Justin Hembree said the town was approached by architect Dean Trakas after Bravo Interior Designs moved out of the townowned building. Hembree said Trakas asked if the town had any interest in sharing the space, which is larger than Brady/Trakas needs. One of the options mentioned is the town’s need to have a better location to serve as its visitor center, Hembree said. Hembree said the front of the building could be used as a place for people to come in and receive maps and activities in the town and also a place to display artwork and historical photographs the town currently keeps at town hall. Brady/ Trakas could be located in the rear of the building. Brady/Trakas has requested
as part of the lease the town allow the architects to use space upstairs to store archival files. Hembree also said there’s the possibility that the town could use Brady/Trakas’ architectural services as part of the lease agreement. Hembree specifically mentioned the need to draw plans for town hall renovations. Council members said they are interested in working out an agreement, but mayor protem Austin Chapman, who ran Tuesday’s meeting in Mayor Alan People’s absence, said he has concerns regarding moving the visitor’s center as it could create a situation where the town needs additional volunteer man hours at the center. The town’s visitor’s center is currently manned about two days per week with a volunteer. “I think it’s definitely worth pursuing,” said councilman Wim Woody. “It’s more accessible from the sidewalk so I think it would be beneficial for tourism.” Hembree said moving the visitor ’s center would not make or break the deal, it’s simply something to consider. Trakas attended the meeting and said the reason the architects are interested in leasing the building is a combination of its wonderful location and finances. He said his office doesn’t need much space, so shared uses are possible. He said the town’s office would be more user-friendly and accessible. Brady/Trakas is currently located in an upstairs office on Trade Street downtown. Town council tabled discussions and could come back next month with a drafted lease, including specifics and rent prices.

Biltmore Lake gets signatures to block annexation Biltmore Lake may become one of the first communities in the state to block an annexation under a law passed last year to give North Carolina residents more power against involuntary annexations. The community reports it has acquired signatures on a petition against the annexation from at least 60 percent of its landowners, the minimum needed to meet a requirement in the new law. Although Biltmore Lake residents filed a lawsuit to block Asheville’s 440-acre annexation, the issue remains unresolved four years after the annexation was initially approved by Asheville City Council in 2007. Buncombe County Superior Court ruled in favor of city council, but the decision was appealed. Biltmore Lake said its goal is to
acquire signatures from at least 90 percent of landowners by the petition deadline of Dec. 2. Residents have said they do not want the city’s services or the higher taxes that would come with the annexation. Dieter Buehler of Biltmore Lake said residents are very proud of their community and they believe they can do a better job of running it than the city can. The state’s new annexation law, passed by a Republicancontrolled general assembly last summer, gives communities a clear legal option to stop involuntary annexations. Biltmore Lake is one of several North Carolina communities that plan to use the new law
to stop pending annexations. Petitions under the new law also have been started in Kinston, Lexington, Rocky Mount, Wilmington, Marvin, Fayetteville and Southport. ***
N o r t h Carolina and South Carolina rank 10th and 11th, res p e c t i v e l y, for air pollution from coaland oil-fired power plants in 2009, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).

states. Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida were at the top of NRDC’s list of states with the most air pollution from power plants. Utilities send to NRDC their reports detailing releases of chemicals to air, water and land. NRDC has voiced opposition to a U.S. House proposal that would delay proposed EPA limits on mercury and other toxic emissions from power plants. According to NRDC, North Carolina utilities released 14.9 million pounds of toxic air emissions in 2009, nearly half of the total air pollution released in the state. To avoid upgrades necessary to meet new air pollution controls, Duke Energy is planning to retire some of its older (Continued on page 19)

Q. How does a family foundation work and how much money do I need to set one up? A. A "family foundation" is what the tax law refers to as a "private foundation". the usual planning technique is to have a Crt pay its funds into a family foundation created in the trust maker's will or trust. the children of the trust maker are usually on the foundation board of trustees, and their job is to decide which charities are to receive the income donations each year in accordance with the instructions left by the trust maker. What the size of your estate has to be in order to justify this planning is purely subjective, but a general standard of tax specialists is a minimum of one million dollars. People who do this type of planning most often site their reason for doing so a desire to give their children control of wealth rather than wealth outright so they can live lives of significance in addition to affluence.

means the college has “truly arrived as a statewide institution,” said Jospeh DiPiro, the college’s executive dean. The new campus is part of an effort to address a significant shortage of medical professionals in the state. The college expects to receive accreditation from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, which will allow it to expand from a two-year to a four-year program and grow from about 40 to 400 students in the future. The college said its new Upstate campus provides access to first-class clinical outcomes research and clinic training from 16 clinical pharmacists in the Greenville Hospital System. The hospital system said it plans to invest $5 million over 10 years to expand pharmacy education in the Upstate.
project began this year with freshmen only. Matt Whiteside, director of instructional technology and media services for Asheville City Schools, said the district decided to expand it to all students after seeing how well it worked with freshmen. Educators said the laptops created a more collaborative learning environment in the classroom. Students can review a teacher’s lecture online at home and collaborate with students online while in the classroom. The school system used some federal stimulus funds to purchase the first laptops and plans to use school funds, coupled with grant money, to fund the project’s expansion. The school system also hopes to eventually expand the program to high school students at Randolph Learning Center. “We think it’s going to have some impact on the achievement gap because all students will have the same tools,” said Leah Ferguson of the Asheville City Schools Foundation, which is seeking a $100,000 challenge grant for the project from the Mebane Foundation.

UDO committee to meet Aug. 25 The Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Advisory Committee will hold its next meeting on Thursday, Aug. 25 at 7 p.m. at the Polk County Senior Center in Columbus. Polk County’s planning consultant, Dale Holland, will be present to continue the discussion concerning revisions to the subdivision section of the UDO. The major discussion at the recent meetings has revolved around the two processes for subdivision approval; one is administrative and the other is quasi-judicial. The approval process used will be determined by the type of development and the environmental impact. The committee discussed
subdivision lot density/dimensions with the maximum density being one dwelling unit per two, three or five acres based on water and sewer capability. The group also discussed the environmental checklist and impact statement requirements. The UDO committee welcomes public comment at every meeting and encourages anyone interested in this issue to attend the meeting on Aug. 25. If you would like more information, a copy of the UDO Draft Subdivision Section is available on the county’s website www. polknc.org under the planning department. – article submitted by Ange High

Beginning Wednesday, Aug. 17, any person in South Carolina wishing to transport and sell any non-ferrous metals including copper and catalytic converters to a scrap metal recycler must first obtain a “permit to transport and sell” from the county sheriff in the county where the seller resides. Out-of-state and out-of-county residents must obtain permits in the county where the metals recycler is located. This “permit to transport and sell” is free to the public. Two types of permits are available to the public. The first is a 12-month permit for those who intend to transport and sell non-ferrous metals more than two times in a 12-month period. To obtain this permit, a person must go to the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office, located at 8045 Howard Street, and complete the application provided by the sheriff. The person must provide his/her name, address, telephone number, driver’s license or picture ID, vehicle description and tag number. The sheriff, upon approval of the application, will then issue the permit to that individual, which will allow them to transport to a recycler. The second permit is a 48hour permit that may be obtained by calling the sheriff’s office at 864-503-4553 or 864503-4554. The person making the call will be given a permit number good for transporting non-ferrous metals for 48 hours. This permit is for those who intend to transport transport and sell such metals no more than twice a year. If you intend to transport non-ferrous metals more than twice a year you must obtain a 12-month permit. Additionally, any metals recyclers intending to purchase
non-ferrous metals, includiong copper or catalytic converters, must obtain a “permit to purchase” from the county sheriff in the county in which they do business. There is a $200 fee for this “permit to purchase” and it is renewable every two years. Further, any metal recycler seeking a permit must be doing business from a fixed site or location. A metal recycler may not purchase non-ferrous metals from a person unless that person presents their “permit to transport and sell” or permit number if it is a 48-hour permit. Also, under the new law it is unlawful to transport in a vehicle or have in one’s possession in a vehicle in Spartanburg County non-ferrous metals of an aggregate weight of more than 10 pounds. This restriction does not apply in the following conditions: • If the vehicle is a vehicle used in the ordinary course of business for the purpose of transporting non-ferrous metals. • If the person can present a valid permit to transport and sell non-ferrous metals. • If the person can present a valid bill of sale for the nonferrous metals. This law does not apply to a holder of a retail business license, an authorized wholesaler, contactor licensed pursuant to the law or a gas, electric, communications, water, plumbing, electrical or climate conditioning service provider. If a deputy determines that one or more of the exceptions applies or the deputy determines that the non-ferrous metals are not stolen goods and are in the rightful possession of the person, the deputy shall not issue a citation for a violation. – article submitted by the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office

Artwork by Bob Neely
Neely’s artwork featured in Gallery Trot Saturday, Aug. 20
Bob Neely’s artwork will be on display at kiveo, located at 78 N. Trade Street in Tryon, during the Tryon Gallery Trot Saturday, Aug. 20. In addition to kiveo, the Upstairs Artspace, Skyuka Fine Art, Richard Baker’s studio, Tryon Painters and Sculptors and Vines and Stuff will feature a wide variety of art on display from 5-8 p.m. Neely is a Tryon artist who came onto the art scene about five years ago. Neely first become Howard's antiques Page known- for his 12 detailed abstract pieces that can best be described as modern day pointillism. Each painting is designed precisely, and the base colors are applied. Following that initial step each area of the painting is completely covered with tiny dots of paint that are applied one at a time with the point of a nail. Two nails are TREASURE - page 30
used to accomplish two different size dots. The big dots are approximately 1/16” in diameter and the small ones are the size of a pin head. In a 20 X 24 canvas there are estimated to be 25,000 dots and to complete a piece takes approximately six to eight weeks. Neely’s more recent works include a series of outdoor abstract cement sculptures that include the use of stained glass. In addition, he has recently completed a series of indoor wooden sculptures that include the use of flat panels and dowels to form the shape of the pieces. Many of these pieces are done in black and white and some pieces include up to 400 dowels. Currently, Neely is focusing on combining his use of color with his understanding of texture (Continued on page 27)

Ask Natalie I’ve been a runner my whole life and competing since I was 12 years old. During my junior track season at UNC Asheville, I started having pain in my left knee. It turned out there was a cyst in my knee and the cartilage under my kneecap was severely damaged. I had surgery at the end of September, was training in December and competing again by February. Thanks to Mission Sports Medicine, I was able to run at Nationals during my senior year, and now I’m training for my next goal—representing Great Britain in the 2012 Summer Olympics.

Wolverines back under friday night lights
Polk County quarterback Alec Philpott lines up at center during the Border Showcase against Spartanburg. The Wolverines take the field against Tuscola Friday, Aug. 19 at 7:30 p.m. Friday night’s game is the first regular season game on the schedule and after beating the Mountaineers two years in a row, Head Coach Bruce Ollis doesn’t expect what he calls a “talented 3A team” to go down easily.
Booker, Taft named to 2A All-State baseball team by Samantha Hurst
Two Polk County High School baseball players were recently named to the NCBCA All-State Baseball Team for division 2A. Rising seniors Joel Booker and Roberto Taft made the 2011 roster after standout seasons as juniors for the Wolverines. Coach Ty Stott said the two are players that can’t help but grab a lot of attention. Booker as a centerfielder caught people’s eyes early in the year. “Joel gets a lot of notice – people were constantly asking me where our centerfielder was going for college,” Stott said. “He hit some pretty long homeruns
throughout the season and started out batting at third, which automatically turns a few heads.” Booker set several records including a season batting average at .529, hard hit average, slugging percentage at 1,000, on base percentage .625 and multi-hit games with 14 on the season, Stott said. He said there are also a lot of career records Booker will likely brake within the first few games of next season, so long as he stays healthy and in the game. Booker has even participated in an invitation-only Atlanta Braves tryout. Taft’s consistency on the mound made all the difference for PCHS last season, Stott said. “Roberto’s the kind that will
be able to pitch in college because he truly knows how to pitch, he doesn’t have to just rely on that fast ball,” Stott said. “He can throw his change-up and his curve and he can pitch inside. You have to really respect that inside pitch so much. If the pitcher has shown they can command the inside corner, that makes the batter have to really think.” Taft’s a good athlete all-around, Stott said, with the ability to field a bunt and make a play on it. Plus, Taft has a hunger for competition. “The bigger the team and the better the team the more he wants the ball,” Stott said. Stott said Taft didn’t enjoy a year of easy games either.
Taft ended the season six and one as a pitcher after a disheartening loss to Pisgah in the playoffs. He took on this role despite originally being second on the roster behind Lucas Cash who was injured early on in the season. “Every game he pitched was a big game, pitching conference games every time,” Stott said. “He had to pitch a lot of innings.” The one game Taft lost was the game against Pisgah, which was a tough place to play with the fans loud and the players rough. Stott said he had no doubt though that Taft was the right one to take the mound. (continued on page 31)

as leaders next year. He said both would have to be prepared to push their younger peers to be the best they can be in every game. “Their going to have to do what is very hard and very uncomfortable for a kid and tell their teammates, ‘Hey look, we played terrible today and that’s why coach is getting on us – we have to step it up,’” Stott said. That leadership, Stott believes, will hold a lot of weight and carry the team to success next year.

“If he had been fresh he would have taken them seven rounds and we would have beaten them,” Stott said. “I said Roberto would be the best pitcher I ever had and he didn’t disappoint.” Stott said Booker had offensively what was likely the best year he could have and Taft did too. Stott said more than anything he’ll look to these guys to step up

So, as much as I fantasize about having a pristine living room appointed with elegant, cream colored furnishings as one sees in the glossy magazines featuring the spotless homes of people devoid of children, pets or personalities, the best I can hope for is relative tidiness and, hopefully, no overlooked ‘present’ on the stairs. And that’s if you give me enough of a heads up. Otherwise, gentle reader, be warned: it’s a dog’s house!

Chocolate: a sinful treat or healthful addition to your diet Over the years, some of my clients didn’t really have much of a taste for chocolate, while other clients would bleed Hershey if you cut them. During nutritional consultations, I’m often asked whether chocolate is good or bad for you. The answer can be “both.” First, I’ll explain some of the benefits of chocolate, then some of it’s detrimental effects. Chocolate can be good for you because it’s rich in antioxidants, more specifically, “polyphenols.” These antioxidants may help prevent heart disease and cancers. Chocolate also raises serotonin levels in the brain, thereby elevating mood. While chocolate does contain saturated fats, most of the saturated fat is made up of mostly something called stearic acid. Stearic acid doesn’t raise blood cholesterol levels the way other saturated fats do.

I hope my story will encourage others to not put off that eye exam like I did. If you feel something may be wrong, get it checked out. Trying to keep sense of humor intact and not resort to a pity party, I wondered if this could be considered an excuse for ignoring dust bunnies or my latest art work shows a more impressionistic feel. Good eyesight is often taken for granted; so with morning coffee, I watched birds, colorful flowers and morning sparkles even more closely. Suddenly it all seemed very, very precious.

Prevent falls by making simple life, home changes Dear Savvy Senior, Can you write a column on fall prevention tips for elderly seniors? My 81-year-old father, who lives alone, has fallen several times over the past year. What can you tell us? Concerned Daughter Dear Concerned, Falls are a big concern for millions of elderly Americans and their families. In the United States, roughly one-third of the 65-and-older population will suffer a fall this year, often with dire with consequences. But many falls can be prevented. Here are some steps you can take to help keep your dad up on his feet and reduce his risk of falling. Check his meds: Does your dad take any medicine or combination of medicines that make him dizzy, sleepy or lightheaded? If so, gather up all the drugs he takes – prescriptions and over-the-counter – and take them to his doctor or pharmacist for a drug review. Schedule an eye exam: Poor vision can be another contributor to falls. If your dad wears glasses, check to see if he’s wearing the correct prescription and beware of bifocals. Multifocal glasses can impair vision needed for detecting obstacles and judging depth. Check his balance: Balance disorders – which can be brought on by a variety of conditions like inner ear problems, allergies, a head injury or problems with blood circulation – are also a common cause of falls. If you dad is having some balance issues, make an
Savvy Senior appointment with his doctor to get it checked and treated. Start exercising: Improving balance through exercise is one of the best ways to prevent falls. Strength training, stretching, yoga, tai chi are all great for building better balance. Some simple exercises that he can do anytime are walking heel-totoe across the room, standing on one foot for 30 seconds or longer, or getting up from a chair and sitting back down 10 to 20 times. For more balance exercise tips, call the National Institute on Aging at 800-222-2225 and order their free exercise DVD and free exercise book or you can see it online at go4life. niapublications.org. Modify his home: Because about half of all falls happen around the home, some simple modifications can go a long way in making your dad’s living area safer. Start by picking up items on the floor that could cause him to trip like newspapers, books, shoes, cloths, electrical or phone cords. If he has throw rugs, remove them or use double-sided tape to secure them. In the bathroom put a non-slip rubber mat or self-stick strips on the floor of the tub or shower, and have a carpenter install grab bars inside the tub and next to the toilet. Also, make sure the lighting throughout the house is good, purchase some inexpensive plug-in nightlights for the bathrooms and hallways, and if he has stairs, consider putting
handrails on both sides. And in the kitchen, organize his cabinets so the things he uses most often are within easy reach without using a step stool. For more tips, call the Eldercare Locater at 800-677-1116 and order a free copy of their “Preventing Falls at Home” brochure. Other pitfalls: Believe it or not, the improper use of canes and walkers sends around 47,000 seniors to the emergency room each year. If your dad uses a cane or walker, be sure it’s adequately adjusted to his height and that he’s using it properly. A physical therapist can help with this, or see the Mayo Clinic slide show on how to choose and use a cane (mayoclinic. com/health/canes/HA00064) and a walker (mayoclinic.com/ health/walker/HA00060). Another possible hazard is pets. If your dad has a dog or cat, he needs to be aware that – because they can get under foot – pets cause a lot of falls. Shoes are another issue to be aware of. Rubber-soled, low-heeled shoes are the best slip/trip proof shoes for seniors. Savvy tip: Consider getting your dad a home monitoring system, which is a small pendent-style “SOS button” that he wears that would allow him to call for help if he fell. Available through companies like lifelinesys.com and lifealert.com these systems cost around $1 per day. 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.

A public reception is Saturday, Aug. 20, 5 to 8 p.m. This is preceded at 4 p.m. by “Walk & Talk,” an informal tour of the art led by exhibiting artists. Everyone is invited to the free program. “Curvature and Color” presents new work by landscape painter Dale McEntire of Saluda and abstract artist Kenn Kotara of Asheville. The two artists share a fondness for vivid colors and curved lines; visitors will immediately notice how they complement each other in spite of different styles.
