Jason Carroll Barnes, 33, also of 3201 Hwy. 9 North, Columbus, was initially on the run, but the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office arrested him yesterday, Aug. 25 in Spartanburg, S.C., Hill said. Barnes will also be charged with manufacturing methamphetamine and possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine precursor. Charges are also pending relating to having children in the home while manufacturing methamphetamine, according to the sheriff’s office.

Items found in the home included pseudoephedrine, sulfuric acid, acetone and sodium hydroxide, as well as various containers commonly used in manufacturing methamphetamine, according to sheriff officers. A contracted hazardous material team was called in from Lenoir, N.C., to clean up the chemicals found in the home. “Because of the two kids in the house, we had to move on this quickly,” Hill said. “There was a one-year-old and a 2½-year-old living there.” The children were placed into

The sheriff’s office’s first meth lab bust occurred in 2002, with another discovered in 2003 and two meth labs in 2004. The last meth lab in Polk County was discovered on Edgerton Road in November 2007.

Polk County BOE members this summer reviewed the nursing report for last school year and said they were pleased with the increased percentage of students remaining in school after visiting the nurse’s office. Administrators said keeping students in school, when they are not contagious or seriously ill, reduces lost instructional time and prevents students from falling behind their peers in the classroom. “Health and education are interdependent,” Kathy Harding, RN, said in her report. “The identification of health-related barriers to learning is crucial to the academic success of every student. Our school nurses work diligently all year to serve the health needs of the students and staff.” Polk County High School saw 87 percent of students return to the classroom after visiting the nurse’s office for minor illnesses. Other school percentages were: Polk County Middle School, 85.5 percent Polk Central Elementary, 85.4 percent Saluda Elementary, 99.3 percent Sunny View Elementary, 92.5 percent Tryon Elementary, 84.7 percent The report also identified the number of students in Polk schools with chronic illnesses. Seventeen percent of Polk students work with school system

nurses every day to manage their illnesses, compared to 19 percent statewide. The most common of those chronic illnesses are related to asthma – 178 in the system in all. The second and third most common conditions are ADD/ADHD and severe allergies, with 63 and 60 students affected respectively. Students also suffer from autism, diabetes, migraines and various cardiac conditions. Last year, nurses administered 180 emergency medications such as epinephrine injections, diabetes medications, asthma inhalers and Diastat. Thirty-seven of those incidents were specifically epinephrine injections for students with allergies. There are also 62 students needing long-term medication distribution, handled by school nurses, and 32 needing short-term. Polk schools also screened pre-K, first, third and fifth-graders for vision and hearing last year. A total of 859 students received vision checks, while 1,107 received hearing screenings. Fifty-six students received vision care based on the screenings and two had hearing issues that were addressed because of the screening. The nurses at Polk schools also took the time to present a variety of subjects related to health concerns to parents, students and staff. Those presentations included subjects such as dealing with allergies, diabetes management, physical activity, personal hygiene and more.

BBQ festival moves 2012 event one week later BBQ Festival Chairman Chuck Britton has announced that the Blue Ridge BBQ & Music Festival will happen one week later beginning with the 2012 event. This should result in less conflict with the end of school and graduation schedules for area students. Next year’s festival will be held June 15 - 16. “There are benefits to the festival and also to the students,” Britton said. “We’ve seen a real decrease in attendance on festival Fridays when graduation occurs on the same date. So we hope to rectify that problem and reap other benefits at the same time. When the festival occurs while school is still in session, many students and their teachers miss out on the opportunity to volunteer. And, even more important to some of the youngsters, we hire up to 20 teens each year to work with our vendors… but they have to be there both days.” The chairman explained that a date change for a sanctioned barbecue event isn’t a simple matter: “The Kansas City Barbecue Society (KCBS) assigns the dates for each sanctioned event and, as other BBQ contests come into being, KCBS takes into consideration the effect one event might have on another. They certainly

don’t want two on the same weekend in the same geographic area. So when we made our request for a change, they had to look closely at what else is going on. “Past Blue Ridge BBQ Festivals have been held on the weekend starting on the second Friday of June. But in the future, we will hold the festival on the weekend beginning on the third Friday of June. The KCBS and we are convinced that this change will be good for our guests as well as for our competition cook teams who come from all over the country.” The festival is conducted annually under the auspices of the Carolina Foothills Chamber of Commerce. Proceeds from the festival help support chamber operations, and additional proceeds go to the Carolina Foothills Chamber Foundation to be returned to the community through distributions to a variety of charitable and civic programs and projects throughout the county. Funds are generated by a modest admission fee, contestant entry fees and sponsorships.

Nate Philpott

Nathan Greenwood Philpott, 63, passed away at home in Tryon on Aug. 24, 2011. Nate was born Oct. 4 in Wichita, Kan. He grew up in Sheffield Lake, Ohio, where he met his wife of 43 years, Judith. Nate graduated from Miami University in Ohio. Shortly after they were married, Nate and Jude moved to Michigan, eventually settling in Milford, Mich., where they raised two sons, Todd and Tyler. In Michigan, Nate was a successful business owner. When he wasn’t working (which everyone knows was rare!), Nate played an integral figure in youth sports, coaching his sons’ baseball teams and supporting youth sports programs in Michigan over the years. After the family moved to North Carolina, Nate started the Polk County Youth Football Association. Through Nate’s dedication and the support of the community, what began as a small town-versus-town program nearly 15 years ago has grown into a competitive football league, well-recognized in the state of North Carolina. Throughout his life, Nate gladly gave of himself. He touched so many lives through his work, his involvement in youth sports, his membership

at the Mill Spring First Baptist Church, and his unyielding willingness to help wherever and whenever it was needed in the community. He was a devoted husband; a loving and supportive father and grandfather; a dependable and caring brother and uncle and a loyal friend. Nate’s compassion, guidance and unique positivity will be sorely missed. In addition to his wife, Jude, and sons, Todd (Kelly) and Tyler (Elizabeth), Nate is survived by two grandsons, Tyler and Alec. He is also survived by his sister, Rozanne; niece, Rebecca; and nephew, Steve Blatt. Nate has a very large and loving family; more than we can list here. Nate was predeceased by his brother, Edward, his mother, Mary Jane Smith, his step-father, Meade Smith, and his father, Alex Philpott. A public memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 28 at the Foothills Community Church, 2720 Landrum Road, Columbus. This will be a casual gathering where friends and family can celebrate Nate and the many ways he has affected so many lives. The family is asking that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in Nate’s name to the Hospice of the Carolina Foothills (www.hocf.org). An online guest register is available at www.mcfarlandfuneralchapel.com.

Shareholders approve Duke, Progress merger Shareholders of Duke Energy and Progress Energy approved a merger of the two companies that is expected to result in the largest utility in the nation. Duke Energy will absorb Progress through the merger, which still requires approval from some state and federal agencies. If approved, the new, larger Duke Energy will have 7.1 million customers and a total generation capacity of 572 gigawatts. Jim Rogers, president and CEO of Duke Energy, said he believes the two North Carolina-based utilities are at the forefront of a consolidation trend that will reduce by half the 58 utilities nationwide within the next decade. Rogers said consolidation is needed to retain cost competitiveness. According to Rogers, the merger will save Duke Energy and Progress Energy $700 million in fuel and joint dispatch costs. He adds that cost reductions in IT, administration, inventory management and electricity generation also will minimize future rate increases for customers.

A Wake County Superior Court judge previously ruled the state cannot withhold funds for pre-kindergarten programs. The state filed a motion to appeal the ruling on the pre-K funding. *** North Carolina is encouraging banks to loan more money to small businesses through a new statewide program that state officials hope will boost the economy. Over the next two years, the North Carolina Capital Access Program will work to facilitate up to $800 million in loans to businesses with fewer than 500 employees. The program, funded through $46.1 million from the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, creates a pool of money to cover loan defaults by matching fees paid by lenders and borrowers. Nearly 60 banks have agreed to participate in the program, and many more are expected to join by the end of the year. Already 38 loans have been made to small businesses, such as restaurants, logging operations, convenience stores and other businesses, at an average of more than $77,000 per loan. Harry Davis, an economist with the North Carolina Bankers Association, said the program was launched because bank lending has decreased so much that “we’re actually constraining growth.” He attributes the limited lending to new policies

*** Enrollment also is expected to climb this fall at Western Carolina University. WCU projects an enrollment for the fall semester of about 9,600 students, up from 9,407 last year. Phil Cauley, director of student recruitment and transitions, said there are still many people interested in attending the college, although reduced state funding makes it harder to meet the demand. WCU’s budget was reduced by 13.4 percent, which has forced the university to eliminate some courses and scale back some programs of study, said Cauley. Enrollment is not climbing this fall at UNC Asheville. The university has approximately 3,700 students enrolled for classes this fall, down from 3,765 last year. UNCA attributes the decline, in part, to students struggling to pay for their education. UNC Asheville Provost Jane Fernandes said more students are asking for leaves of absence because they are unable to pay for college because of the current economic conditions. Fernandes adds that UNCA would not be prepared for higher enrollment as a result of the state funding cuts, which are expected to result natural way-

he said. *** A Western Carolina University professor helped write a new law requiring concussion awareness education for public school student-athletes, their parents and coaches. James Scifers, the director of the school of health sciences at Western Carolina University, helped draft the bill that became the Gfeller-Waller Concussion Awareness Act. The law is named after two high school football players who died from head injuries in 2008. Matthew Gfeller was a student at R. J. Reynolds High. Jaquan Waller attended Rose High. Scifers, a longtime trainer, said he worked with others initially to get a bill passed that would put a certified athletic trainer in every public school. After it became clear that would not happen, efforts turned toward the concussion awareness education bill. The new law requires school employees, first responders, volunteers, students and parents to sign education literature for the coach before they are allowed to play. The law also states students must be removed from a sports event if they are exhibiting “any signs or symptoms consistent with concussion.” Athletes are not permitted to return to action until they have been evaluated by a certified medical professional, such as a physician, neuropsychologist or licensed athletic trainer. Although only about 40 percent of public schools in North Carolina have a certified athletic trainer, most schools in Western North Carolina do have one. Scifers said only Andrews and Murphy do not have a certified athletic trainer.

*** The Governor’s School of North Carolina has raised more than $130,000 in an effort to keep alive its annual summer program for gifted students. The N.C. General Assembly cut funding this year for the program, forcing the school to turn to donations for support. Bill Harrison, chairman of the N.C. Board of Education, said the school needed to raise at least $100,000 by Aug. 1 to have sufficient start-up funds for the program next summer. Although the school hit that target, it has a long way to go before reaching its goal of $1.3 million to send 800 students to the summer program for free. The Governor ’s School, started in 1963, offers students six-week programs in specific curriculum areas at one of two college campuses. Roice Fulton, vice president of the Governor’s School Foundation, said the summer program is “an investment in the future economic engine” of the state. “We definitely want to see the state restore funding to it,”

Democratic Women’s Club Treasurer Frances Parker (center) and Renee McDermott, Polk County commissioner and women’s club member, present a check for classroom supplies to Polk County Schools Superintendent Bill Miller. All the proceeds from the club’s Aug. 6 fundraising breakfast were contributed. (photo submitted)

Democratic women contribute funds for classroom supplies The new school year has arrived, and along with it the need for our youngest students to have the school supplies they need for their lessons. That has always been the responsibility of the parents, but in the real world and particularly now with our difficult economy, there are too many parents who just cannot afford it. The supplies for those kids must come from somewhere else. Each of the four local elementary schools has set aside a closet stocked with supplies for just that purpose, which teachers can quietly visit and take what they need to get their neediest kids through the day. Those closets are kept stocked any way the teachers and administrators can manage, but often it is the teachers themselves who buy the supplies out of their own money. They shouldn’t have to do that, local Democratic women said. To help the situation, they have joined respected community organizations like Thermal Belt Outreach, which have long been active in funneling supplies to 110218 - page 2

the schools. The Polk County Democratic Women’s Club held a fundraiser breakfast on Aug. 6 in order to raise funds to help the teachers, and organizers said it was the most successful such event they have ever done. People came from all over the county and the upstate, and the event generated almost $1,500 in donations. The Women’s Club absorbed all the costs of the breakfast and added funds to make the total contribution exactly $1,500. A check for that amount was presented to school superintendant Bill Miller by club treasurer Frances Parker and club member and commissioner Renee McDermott on Aug. 22. It won’t solve the problem, but it will help, organizers said, and that is what the community needs to do. The Democratic women said they appreciate all those who contributed and volunteered, and especially the teachers for doing what they do. Time for school. – article submitted by Margaret Johnson

Polk football takes show on the road to Brevard tonight By Daniel Hecht

Last Friday, the Wolverine football program collected their first paycheck for a summer’s worth of hard work, crushing 3A powerhouse Tuscola by the score of 38-22 and emphatically serving notice to the rest of the Western Highlands Conference

that the road to the championship will, once again, run directly through Polk County. Tonight, head coach Bruce Ollis’ squad heads out to Transylvania County to take on Brevard High School, who lost their season opener on the road last week at Owen by the score of 27-7.

ventional though it may be, might be just the spark Brevard needs to fire up its football program and put the team back on the winning track. Look for second year head coach Jeff Bailey to have his team primed and pumped to square off against the Wolver-

ines, who come into tonight’s contest ranked as the fifth best 2A football program in the state. Without question, many of the returning Blue Devils’ players will be looking for payback for the 56-0 whipping handed to them by Polk County during last season’s meeting at the Little Big House. This year’s Brevard squad is far from the pushover the Wolverines faced last year. “This is

Tryon High School golf team reunion

a very much improved football team,” commented Ollis. “They have a number of starters back and seem to be playing with much more determination and speed.” The Blue Devils return several players at skill positions, including running backs Nick Mooney and Jariya Robinson, and quarterbacks Chris Minugh and Tre Pope, as well as a particularly strong group of linebackers that Bailey will substitute freely to keep fresh legs on defense at all times. The Blue Devil defense will need all the help it can get as it takes on a powerhouse Polk offense that surprised even the most optimistic boosters last week. While fretting about how to slow down Joel Booker, Tyler Ridings and Cary Littlejohn, arguably the fastest trio in the West, Brevard will also need figure out a way to stop Polk QB Alec Philpott, who was named Area Prep Player of the Week on the strength of his five touchdown, 294 yard performance against the Mountaineers. The fireworks begin tonight at 7:30 at Brevard High School.

TLT directors of ‘Clue the Musical’ Launching Tryon Little Theater’s 63rd season, “Clue: the Musical” is coming to the TLT (Tryon Little Theatre) workshop stage, Sept. 22. Director Debbie Craig-Archer, who is new to TLT, but not to the art of directing, already has set builders, performers, lighting technicians, wardrobe and prop people doing what they do best, striving to bring another experience to area theater-goers. Craig-Archer has been directing for over 25 years and singing, acting and dancing since she was four. Craig-Archer has directed in North Carolina at the Spring Lake Little Theatre, Mannie’s Dinner Theatre and Robeson Little Theatre before relocating to Spartanburg, S.C. where she has been involved with the Little Theatre there, as well as Greer Children’s Theatre and Trinity United Methodist Church collectively for 14 years. Craig-Archer is the Office Manager and Paralegal for Security Finance in Spartanburg. Ben Chumley has been involved in theater his whole life, but he also has an impressive musical background. He’s bringing that expertise to TLT’s

Gifts Q. should I use my applicable exclusion ($1million) during my lifetime or upon my death? A. Many people have the misconception that it is best 1x1 to “save” their applicable 5/2 exclusion amount until their death. 6/2 However, a more powerful leveraging technique is to utilize it during your lifetime. If you use your applicable exclusion amount by making lifetime gifts, the value of the gifts will appreciate in the 0tfn5fri recipients’ - inDD hands and not in your taxable estate. Between investment growth and inflation, the value of the gift should be substantial. For example, assuming the value of your gift will double every 7.2 years, if your life expectancy is 21 more years, a $1 million gift will be worth $8 million in the hands of the recipients at the end of the time. assuming a 55% tax rate, you would have to leave over $17.7 million to provide your heirs with the same amount. Call (828) 696 1811 for info on this or other planning techniques. SASS-033248 1x7 11/27

Guest Theresa Catalano speaks with musicians Pam and Don McMahon

Lions annual party for visually impaired The Columbus Lions recently hosted their annual party for visually impaired residents of Polk County. The Lions prepared and served the lunch, and the entertainment was provided by Don and Pam McMahon who sang and played guitar. The McMahon’s have been making music together for over 46 years. They are called “Straight from the Heart” and their music is known as acoustic music to feed your soul. Everyone enjoyed the musical messages of love and oneness. Marian Corn, Polk County’s representative from the North Carolina Division for the Blind, also entertained with trivia ques-

tions. The guests received prizes and take-home gifts. Helping people with vision and hearing impairments is a primary mission of the Columbus Lions. In addition, Lions Clubs International is engaged in a campaign to eliminate all avoidable blindness worldwide. For more information about being a Lion and what Lions do in the community, call Fran Goodwin at 828-894-2505. The Columbus Lions meet on the first and third Thursdays at Calvert’s Kitchen in Columbus. Visitors are welcome. - article submitted by Chuck and Helen Trevathan

Dr. Deano Trakas, Hoy Professor of American Literature and chair of the english department at Wofford College in Spartanburg, S.C., spoke at the Aug. 16 brown bag lunch program at Lanier Library to a large audience. Dr. Trakas’ topic was the “The Story of Greeks in Upstate South Carolina.” His family’s presence in this area began when his grandfather, Nicholas Trakas, came to America from Arahova, Greece in 1895 and eventually settled in Spartanburg. In his book, “Because Memory Isn’t Eternal,” Dr. Trakas tells the story of the lives and ac-

complishments of his ancestors, including pictures, poems, maps and family recipes. With lots of audience participation and Dr. Trakas’ reading from his book, the program was entertaining and informative. The next brown bag lunch program will be Celtic fiddler, Jamie Laval from Asheville. He will be performing at noon and 7 p.m. at Lanier Library on Sept. 20. The public is invited and the program is free, thanks to a grant from the Kirby Fund. - article submitted by Lynn Montgomery

PAD alert An under the radar condition that affects up to 10 million Americans, PAD happens when the arteries that carry blood to the legs and feet become narrowed or clogged over the years with fatty deposits or plaque, causing poor circulation. But you also need to be aware that because PAD is a systemic disease, people that have it are also much more likely to have clogged arteries in other areas of the body like the heart, neck and brain, which greatly increase the risks of heart attack or stroke.

Local horse activist speaks at KiwanisSupport Club meeting the non“Why Horses Matter to the lethal solution Area Economy” was the title of the presentation Libbie Johnson gave to the Tryon Kiwanis Club on April 27. Johnson is a local activist for the area’s horse industry. Johnson reported that the Tryon area has been named one of the top 5 best horse communities in the U.S., with 250 miles of equestrian trails. Johnson also spoke on how the horse community brings dollars to the local economy by direct spending, such as buying feed for horses; indirect spending, when the store buys supplies; and employee spending through their paychecks.
