The festival will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Green Creek Community Center, located at 534 Coxe Road in Green Creek. “The festival offers the community and visitors a day of fun that depicts life in Green Creek 100 years ago,” said festival organizer Krista Haynes. “We’ll have demonstrations of old-time skills such as blacksmithing, basket-weaving and spinning, displays of antiques, crafts for sale, historical information about the area, a parade, a firemen’s barrel roll competition and lots more.” The parade has increased in participants each year. Any civic club, church, school organization or scout troop that would like to participate can register with Francine Costner at 828-863-4065. The finale to the parade is the popular “Firemen’s Barrel Roll Competition,” featuring local fire departments (Continued on page 3)

Mobile unit more than doubles Polk County recycling tonnage by Leah Justice

In July 2007, about 100 residents joined in a grassroots effort to increase recycling efforts in Polk County and the effort has paid off in terms of tonnage recycled since then. Polk residents have doubled the

amount of materials recycled since 2008-2009, most notably since a mobile recycling unit was established. The Polk County Board of Commissioners met Tuesday, Sept. 6 and

Tryon Elementary, Polk Central Elementary, Polk Middle School and Polk High School. Recycling is collected at Sunny View and Saluda elementary schools, but no trailer bins are located at those schools yet. The mobile recycling unit travels to Columbus, Green Creek, Saluda and Tryon one day each per week and began in December 2009. Since then, the amount of recycling materials Polk County collects has more than doubled. In fiscal year 2008-2009, Polk County recycled 256 tons. This past fiscal year, which ended June 30, the county recycled 517 tons, of which 211 tons came from the mobile recycling and schools. Of the 256 tons in 2008-2009, 90 tons were received from Columbus that the county no longer receives, which pushes the increase higher. Polk County Solid Waste Director Neal Hall said he attributes the increase in tonnage to the

mobile recycling unit. During the summer months this year, a survey was taken of residents visiting the centers, which determined an average of about 300 participants per week. Each visitor to the recycling centers brings an average of almost 25 pounds of recycling per visit, according to Hall. “I am so moved to see this community bring in their (recyclables),” said Polk commissioner Cindy Walker, who was the original chair of the recycling committee. “It’s just been a wonderful, wonderful experience. “If it cost us money, I still think it’s the right thing to do. The savings of recycling goes much further than we might think. It saves energy and resources, besides creating jobs.” The county spent $44,526 on recycling last year, including shipping costs, 60 percent of an employee’s salary, fuel and supplies. Revenues totaled $44,243, including the sale of recyclables and state and grant funding. The

county made $30,766 in selling recyclables last year, according to the report. It cost $30,625 to ship the recycling, according to the report. The report’s expenses include a $20,422 credit for tons diverted from the landfill, meaning the county saved $20,422 on the landfill side by having the tonnage recycled instead. Commissioner Ted Owens said he wants to encourage the recycling committee to find more ways to increase recycling. Owens questioned some of the numbers during the Sept. 6 meeting, including why the employee’s salary only counted 60 percent and if the transfer station’s recycling center is included in the totals. Hall answered that the employee, Jennifer Patton, also works other duties at the transfer station and he estimated that 60 percent of the time is spent on recycling. The report includes the Mill Spring transfer station’s recycling center, the schools’ recycling programs and the mobile unit centers.

Hall said part of the success of the mobile recycling centers is Patton, who he referred to as one of the most reliable employees he’s ever had. Commissioner Walker and commissioner vice-chair Renée McDermott also said how helpful Patton is to visitors to the center and the positive rapport she has developed with recycling participants.

Armed man apprehended at Wheat Creek Baptist Church by Leah Justice

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office arrested a Pea Ridge man Wednesday, Sept. 7 who was apprehended at Wheat Creek Baptist church armed with a gun. Daniel Earl Logan, of 5891 Pea Ridge Road, was arrested and charged with possession of firearm by a felon, disrupting a religious service and resisting a public officer, according to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office. Polk County received a 911 call at approximately 9:37 p.m. on Sept. 7 in reference to an armed man at the church. The suspect was identified as Logan by an eyewitness, according to reports. The sheriff’s office searched the church and set up a perimeter in an attempt to contain Logan, according to the sheriff’s office. Polk requested the assistance of the Henderson County K-9 unit, with officers C. Riley and S. Pedersen responding. After the officers were briefed, they and K-9 Kane began the search, sheriff’s officers said.

Walker said recycling reaches much farther than residents realize. She said beyond diverting trash from a landfill, recycling saves energy, emissions and resources. Recycling of aluminum cans, for example, saves 95 percent of the energy required to make the same amount of aluminum from virgin sources, according to national information. “My point is it goes far beyond what we might think of,” said Walker, “and it’s also something all of us can do.” Polk County’s next steps to expand its recycling are to get trailers at Sunny View School, to pick-up recycling at some post offices and to work with the hospital to collect its recycling.

UDO committee sends subdivision section to Polk planning board The Unified Development Ordinance Committee (UDOC) agreed at its last meeting to send the revised subdivision section of the UDO to the Polk County Planning Board for review. The UDO committee has been working to create a document that will combine all of the current Polk County Ordinances into one text, as well as updating the current ordinances. To make this project more manageable, the revisions have been broken down into sections. The subdivision section is the first to be sent to the planning board for comments. The planning board will begin the review process of this section at their September meeting. When the review has been completed, the planning board will send the section to the board of commissioners for final approval. The next two sections the UDO committee will revise are the mountainside and ridgeline protection section and the sign section. Upcoming meeting dates are Thursday, Sept. 15 and Tuesday, Sept. 27 at 7 p.m. at the Polk County Senior Center in Columbus. The committee welcomes public comment at every meeting and encourages anyone interested to attend. For more information, visit the county’s website at www.polknc. org under the planning department. – article submitted by Ange High

N.C. economic indicators dip but still show growth Four of five leading economic indicators slipped in North Carolina in July, lowering the economic forecast for the next several months by 0.8 percent, according to the Walden Index issued by N.C. State University economist Michael Walden. The economic indicators in the index were the lowest they have been this year in North Carolina. Despite the drop, Walden said he was not predicting a doubledip recession in the state. Walden noted that the index in July was still up 1.5 percent over July of 2010. “I’m still in the camp that thinks we’ll avoid an ‘official’ recession by keeping GDP (gross domestic product) growth just above negative rates – that is low but still positive,” he said. UNC-Charlotte economist John Connaughton also continued to forecast growth over the

remainder of the year, although he lowered his estimates made earlier in the year. Connaughton previously forecasted growth of 2.7 percent for the year, up from 2.6 percent in 2010. However, he is now calling for 1.7 percent growth this year. “Overall, the North Carolina economy suffered through a modest recovery during 2010 and the first half of 2011,” says Connaughton, whose forecast is funded by Babson Capital Management. The UNC economist also lowered his estimates for job creation this year from 64,700 to 23,600. The North Carolina economy is estimated to have lost 320,000 jobs during the recession in 2008 and 2009. Connaughton says he expects

the strongest growth prospects will be seen this year in three sectors: finance, insurance and real estate (up 2.9 percent); wholesale trade (up 2.8 percent); nondurable goods manufacturing (up 2.7 percent). He expects more limited growth in durable goods manufacturing, retail trade, transportation, warehousing, utilities and information and government. – sources: “Charlotte Business Journal,” 9-7-11; Raleigh News & Observer, 9-6-11

*** August was a big month for job announcements in North Carolina, according to the Impact Report of “Site Selection” magazine. The publication, which tracks

announcements of new plants and expansions, reported that North Carolina accounted for nearly 20 percent of all new jobs announced in the country in August. According to “Site Selection,” companies announced in August plans to bring 1,276 jobs and $306 million in investment to North Carolina. The job announcements came in a number of small to mediumsized projects, including one by Merck and Company, a biotechnology company that plans to invest $91 million and create 75 jobs. Specialty Textiles, Inc. also announced in August plans to invest $4.9 million and create 62 jobs by expanding a manufacturing facility in Cleveland County for residential upholstery fabrics.

North Carolina does not welcome a diverse population. Democrats say it could deter some companies from locating or expanding in the Tarheel state and make it more difficult for companies to recruit employees. House Republicans have rejected those claims. Dale Folwell, the number two Republican in the House, said the constitutional amendment will not impact business recruitment. “If any business is making a decision about whether to come or leave North Carolina on this issue… I think that’s an incorrect way to be making a business decision,” said Folwell. Joe Hackney, the Democratic leader in the N.C. House who led Tuesday’s rally, supported a 1996 North Carolina law that made same-sex marriage illegal in the state. However, he says he would not vote the same now. “I think people change, cultures change,” said Hackney Tuesday. “Our predecessors 50 years ago, 100 years ago, were perfectly content with Jim Crow laws they enacted.” Hackney added he believes there is a difference between passing a law against same-sex marriage and putting a “discriminatory message” in the state’s constitution. Currently, North Carolina is the only state in the South that does not have in its constitution a prohibition of same-sex marriage. Passing the constitutional amendment will require approval from three-fifths of both the House and the Senate to get it on the ballot for next year. The referendum then would have to be approved by more than half of voters. – sources: www.newobserver.com and Winston Salem Journal, 9-7-11

ing him to reconsider his ruling that the state should maintain funding for pre-kindergarten education. Although education funding was increased in some areas, The budget approved by a Republican-led General Assembly earlier this year reduced funding for pre-K programs, limiting the number of 4-year-olds who could enroll in the programs. Manning reiterated Friday that the state’s constitution requires the lawmakers to provide a quality education to all children. “The court remains confident that the state of North Carolina will discharge its constitutional duties to the children of North Carolina, including ‘at-risk’ prospective enrollees, so that each child may have the equal opportunity to obtain a sound basic education,” Manning said. At the request of Republican

lawmakers, the North Carolina Attorney General’s Office is appealing Manning’s ruling. Republicans have argued that the state’s constitution provides the authority for the legislature to set education policy. While funding for pre-K programs was cut, Republicans have noted that education funding was increased this year in other areas. N.C. Governor Bev Perdue applauded Manning’s ruling and said she has directed the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services to formulate a plan for complying with the order. “Providing at-risk children with access to an academic prekindergarten program helps prepare them for success in elementary school and throughout their lives,” Perdue said. – sources: www.newsobserver.com, 9-7-11; www.governor. state.nc.us/

Other projects affected by the plan are located in WinstonSalem, Wilmington, Fayetteville, Greenville and Greensboro. The GARVEE bonds allow the state to make early use of federal highway money expected in the future. State officials say it makes sense to use the bonds because construction costs are expected to be higher in future years so the state will save money

by using the funds now, even with the cost of interest on the bonds. “Investing in our state’s infrastructure is about jobs,” said Perdue. “Not only will it create jobs, but it also will build an efficient transportation network that will attract new businesses and bring more jobs to our state in the future.” The I-26 Connector Project in Asheville involves widening I-240 from four to eight lanes between the I-26/I-40/I-240 interchange to a point between Haywood Road and Patton Avenue. The project had been on hold because of lack of funding, but the state says it now plans to start buying land for the widening in 2018 and begin construction in 2020. – sources: www.citizentimes.com; www.newsobserver. com, 9-7-11 *** Losses continue to mount (Continued on page 20)

Letter to the Editor

Patriot Day 2011 To the Editor: Sept. 11 is Patriot Day. And, though a somber feeling fills the air on this national day of remembrance, we cannot mourn the deaths of the Americans who perished at the hands of terrorists, without celebrating their lives. A patriot is described as a person who loves, supports and defends his or her country and its interest with devotion. On Sept. 11, 2001, each and every freedom-loving American rediscovered their devotion to country as the world watched in disbelief as the chaos unfolded from the skyline of New York and Somerset County, Pa.… to the symbol of our nation’s military strength… the Pentagon. There is no doubt the memory of the 2,998 Americans that perished as a result of the attacks on

that fateful day will remain etched in our minds. From the horrific events of that day, we stood significantly as a people and as a nation, refusing to succumb to fear or despair. It truly became one of America’s “finest hours.” Just as the images and stories of sorrow and fear have left their indelible mark in our lives, the heroic acts of that day remain just as enduring. As rescue personnel and citizens alike banded together – in some cases sacrificing their own lives to help strangers – it became clear this tragic event would only strengthen our love for America and our respect for the principles upon which this great country was founded. In the wake of the savage attacks, our flag, our nation, stood tall. Backed by a new generation of service members who stood ready to answer the call of duty, America’s sense of spirit and

patriotism was reborn. For 10 years now, the men and women who so gallantly put their lives on hold to answer that call have helped to better secure us from such vicious and cowardly attacks. They’ve liberated a country from the clenches of tyranny. They’ve interrupted a stronghold for breeding future extremists and empowered governments and trained militaries so that they may sufficiently govern and defend themselves against evil and intolerant bigots. We have and will continue to face challenges from those who disagree with our way of life, not just here at home, but all over the world. But, we vowed that from Sept. 11, 2001 forward, we would act to ensure that forces of ignorance and evil never prevail and that we will unite against anyone who chooses to threaten our freedom, and we will stand unified and defiantly proud in the face of our enemies. Dwight D. Eisenhower said,

page

“History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.” In retrospect, we can now take solace in knowing that the lives lost Sept. 11, 2001, ultimately served to strengthen our resolve, sense of purpose and vision for the future. It is our duty to continue to hold true to the heroic efforts and sacrifices that took place on that tragic day, and to work diligently for the advancement of freedom worldwide. Fellow patriots… let us vow to recommit ourselves to our families, our communities and to our country. For generations, America has served as a beacon of peace and light to the world. We need to continue to be that source. That is the best way to honor the memory and the deeds of Sept. 11. God bless you, God bless America and God bless our troops! – H. Scott Camp Commander, Polk County Memorial VFW Post #9116 Columbus

Letter to the Editor

Commemorating Patriot Day To the Editor: Ten years ago at 8:45 a.m., the first plane crashed into one of the World Trade Center Towers. At 9:03 a.m., the second plane crashed into the other tower. At 9:43 a.m., an aircraft crashed into the Pentagon. At 10:05 a.m., the south tower collapsed. At 10:10 a.m., a plane crashed in Sumerset County, Pa. At 10:28 a.m., the north tower collapsed. The events that occurred in 2001 on Sept. 11 shocked and staggered our nation, but only for a moment. An enemy unfamiliar with the strength and resilience of the American people mistakenly thought they could frighten and cripple us as a nation. Their assumptions and misunderstandings of who we are and what we stand for immediately became apparent to them and to the rest of the world. Out of the chaos of that day came order and a clear sense of what we needed to do. Out of the confusion of that day came a new solidarity: a strength of purpose and a clear and united resolve – not in the name of vengeance alone, but more importantly, in the name of justice. We looked closer at ourselves on Sept. 11 and in the days that followed. The smoke and dust of the ruined twin towers failed to cast a shadow over the extreme acts of courage and valor displayed by hundreds of police, firefighters, emergency medical personnel and others during the frightful morning of Sept. 11. We now understand that heroes surround us on a daily basis. Everyday heroes, ordinary men and women made extraordinary by their professionalism and their willingness to serve and protect… and who go beyond the boundaries of duty. When American Airlines Flight #77 tore through the walls

of the Pentagon, it was selfless government and civilian workers who put their lives at risk to save fellow employees and comrades. And passengers aboard United Flight #93 showed valor beyond words when, after realizing terrorists had taken control of their aircraft and were targeting the nation’s capital with cruel intent, took action that perhaps saved thousands of lives… at cost of their own. The truth of that day reaffirmed what we already knew; that evil will always be countered by good. That violence is not strength and compassion is not the enemy. Through all of this, what has become evident is the rekindling of the American spirit and new awareness and deeper appreciation of what our nation stands for. As we reflect on those whose lives were cut short as a result of the attack on America, we can take solace in knowing that their memory has served to inspire a greater enthusiasm for service. The best way for us to honor their memory is to recommit ourselves to our families, our communities and to our country. We can do this through our local community service projects. The Columbus Post #9116 and Ladies Auxiliary give a salute to all our Polk emergency personnel and thank them for what they do for us. President George W. Bush designated Sept. 11 as “Patriot Day.” As we take a moment for silence in memory of those whose lives we lost, let us each be determined to do more in their name to make the United States an even greater nation than ever. Remember we have boys and girls, men and women giving their lives overseas as we speak. We have not forgotten 9-11-01. God bless America and our troops. The Polk County Memorial V.F.W. Post and Ladies Auxiliary #9116 ask all our Polk County School students, along with everyone else, to take a moment of silence in memory of this tragic day in our history. – Joyce B. Preston

Clues for Clue? Miss Scarlet

Miss Scarlet. You take one look at her and you know her type immediately. Miss femme fatale. Scarlet by name, scarlet by nature. She’s recently been seen teaching chorus in one of the local schools, so it’s no surprise that she’s a former Las Vegas lounge performer. It’s been said that she was affiliated in the past (do I need to be more specific?) with Mr. Green. But what’s she doing here in the mansion? She probably wants Mr. Boddy’s body. But you can only find out if you come see “Clue: the Musical” at Tryon Little Theater’s Workshop. Running Sept. 22 - 25 and Sept. 29 – Oct. 2. Box office now open at the Workshop.

Cardinals, Wolverines take field in border rivalry by Joey Millwood

Another chapter will be written tonight in the Landrum-Polk County border rivalry and it’s shaping up to be a good one. Both teams are riding high coming into this game. Landrum went on the road and beat Traveler’s Rest in week one and the team is coming off a huge, dramatic last second win over Chesnee last Friday night. The Wolverines have won their first three games. Polk has beaten Tuscola, Brevard and R.S. Central. The veteran defense has given up only 13 points in the last two games. The defense that will be needed against a Landrum offense starts with quarterback Brandon Cannon. “Containing their quarterback will be a huge concern for us,” Polk coach Bruce Ollis said. “(They’re) very explosive.

earnings have increased drastically under the Bush tax cuts. They rail against paying the pre-Bush tax rate of 39 percent income tax even in these terrible economic times. After WWII the rate was 90-plus percent as the nation sacrificed to try to pull itself out of huge debt. They complain about the consideration of paying social security tax on income over $106,000, a small percentage of their holdings. They don’t pay income tax on capital gains and stock dividends; they pay a 15 percent fee. How did they convince those politicomercenaries that capital gains and dividends are not income? That top 5 percent pays almost 60 percent of the taxes collected in America; however, if they are consuming much more of the resources, they’re still behind on their debt to society. Depending on which source you look at, they earn from 33 percent to 40 percent of the income. Most Americans are tired of hearing their complaints about how tough things are for them. The middle class and even the poor are also culpable in the current imbalance by not voting for representatives who will uphold the “safety net” in a responsible way. Current representatives (and senators) have allowed the cost of social programs to spiral out of control in the past two decades. While needed regulation of financial markets has been partially reinstated, they have done nothing to evaluate and regulate social programs. They have extended expensive benefits to people who are here in violation of United States laws and who have made no contribution to the cost of the services. Welfare and Medicaid/Medicare fraud continues unabated without obvious (or advertised) efforts to combat the problem. They can’t even estimate the extent of these problems. While the education of our children is falling further and further behind the rest of the world, parents are more and more involved in emphasizing

recreation over academics. Liberal goals tend toward Utopia, but provide no assurance that future programs would be any better managed than these current sore spots. The gap between these two opposed factions is dangerous. Failure to find workable middle ground is threatening to plunge the country into further economic calamity. Already the nation’s “credit rating” has been devalued. The stock market cycles wildly. International trust in America’s financial solvency wanes and puts world stability at risk. To be in this position is absurd. Solving the problems is certainly possible, but intransigence on both sides risks collapse in the form of deeper economic recession and/or depression. During the Clinton era, the president and Newt Gingrich were able to put aside their personal agendas and do the work of the country. The deficits disappeared. There was a three-to-four-year period when the debt actually paid down a little. They found the right balance between taxation and social

Bow season opening next week, county could see changes The feeling of the air in the mornings and late evenings is starting to hint that fall is around the corner. It is also a reminder that bow and arrow season for white-tailed deer is just around the bend. Bow season in the western deer season area opens Sept. 12 and runs thru Oct. 1, then reopens from Oct. 17 thru Nov. 19. Although I lost the desire to bow hunt many years ago, mostly because of warmer temps and too many insects, those who do hunt deer with a bow enjoy it deeply. The extra effort and skill involved in getting close enough to a deer to take one with a bow seems to strike a chord in the heart of the archer. Growing quickly in popularity, crossbows can now be used during the bow and arrow seasons. Although this doesn’t make bow (continued on page 36)

How to detect and prevent telemarketing Top Qualityscams Horse Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend some tips to help protect seniors from telemarketing scams? My 80-year-old mother has been swindled out of several hundred dollars over the past year and keeps getting calls from scam artists. Worried Daughter Dear Worried Telemarketing fraud is a big problem in the United States, particularly among seniors who tend to be the most vulnerable and frequently targeted.

Telemarketing fraud happens when a con artist calls you up posing as a legitimate telemarketer and tries to cheat you out of your money by offering things like free prizes, vacation packages, sweepstakes or lottery winnings, discount medical or prescription drug plans, buying club memberships, credit and loan promises, investment and work-at-home opportunities and more. They also usually demand that you act right away and require some kind of up-front payment to participate or receive your winnings, which is always a red flag that the call is a scam. Seniors also need to be careful of fake charity and fundraising phone scams, home improvement scams, fake checks (see
