St. Luke’s gets green light for expansion Groundbreaking expected early 2012 by Samantha Hurst
The N.C. Department of Health Service Regulation approved a certificate of need (CON) Friday, Sept. 9 for a proposed six-bed replacement facility on the St. Luke’s Hospital

we are able to move forward,” Rosenberg said. “This could not have happened without advocacy and support from our patients, our medical staff, the board, our foundation and the community.” St. Luke’s Hospital CEO Ken Shull said the early approval would not change the overall timeline. “We already had the design of the facility on the fast track and it will still take them until the end of November to have the design and documents ready for us to put our project out for bid,” Shull said. Shull said the hospital expects to break ground by February 2012, with construction completed by January 2013. The new six-bed wing will feature 280-square-foot patient rooms, which will be more than twice the size of the current 100 to 120 square-foot rooms filling most of the rest of St. Luke’s wings. Hospital spokesperson Kathy Woodham said the new wing will focus on the increasing number of orthopedic patients coming through the hospital with the addition in 2004 of Rosenberg Bone and Joint.

“St. Luke’s Hospital’s entire orthopedic team is very excited about the building plans our board has worked hard to implement. We were notified it would be late November before we had an answer, so it’s terrific that we are able to move forward.” -- Dr. Brian Rosenberg
Woodham said those types of procedures have increased 50 percent in seven years. The average knee patient will spend two to four days recovering, she said. Officials call this orthopedic patient wing Phase I and said they have intentions to eventually replace the 40-year-old facility. Phase I connects the new wing to the administrative hallway. The 15,000-square-foot addition is projected to cost $5.6 million. St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation has raised $1 million toward the project, with expectations of raising another $1 million. Additional funds will be raised through bank financing. Wineries and La Bouteille are also sponsoring the event. During the night, guests can also peruse inFARMation stations – displays of a variety of area farms and sustainable community action groups such as Transition Polk. They can also bid on a silent auction with featured local items such as a hand-painted coffee table from Peggy Armstrong with a map of the county surrounded by county scenery, introductory flying lessons or wrought-iron work. Jackson said the event cleared more than $5,000 for the agricultural center last year. She said (Continued on page 5)

It’s official; the ninth season premiere of ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Editionâ€? airing Sunday, Sept. 25 will feature Blue Ridge Log Cabins of Campobello. Blue Ridge CEO Chip Smith said crafting the episode’s home meant more than putting hammer to nail on a frame. “This project is much more than just the construction of one home. It has become a calling for me personally and the entire Blue Ridge Log Cabins team, and I am certain that viewers will be as touched as I was by the story of the Jubilee House and by the larger issue of homelessness among our countryĘźs veterans,â€? Smith said. The special two-hour premiere will chronicle Blue Ridge Log CabinsĘź build in Fayetteville, N.C. This particular home was constructed for Steps-N-Stages Jubilee House, a shelter for displaced female veterans. A 15-year Navy veteran, Barbara Marshall, used her own money, to establish the Jubilee House for homeless female veterans. The shelter not only provides a safe place to rest their heads, but also support and services such as life coaching. “Extreme Makeover: Home Editionâ€? selected Marshall and Jubilee House for the series because the two-bedroom cottage she purchased for the shelter limited the amount of good she could do. She simply needed more space. Most of the construction of the new Jubilee House
“This project is much more than just the construction of one home. It has become a calling for me personally and the entire Blue Ridge Log Cabins team, and I am certain that viewers will be as touched as I was by the story of the Jubilee House and by the larger issue of homelessness among our country’s veterans.� -- Blue Ridge Log Cabins CEO Chip Smith
took place at Blue Ridge Log CabinsĘź facility in Campobello. The home was then transported in 13 sections to the building site, where it was completed in about 106 hours. “This was truly a once-ina-lifetime experience for Blue Ridge Log Cabins,â€? Smith said. “The demands of this build and the unique needs of this home presented us with a challenge unlike any we had ever faced. The success of this project truly is a testament to the talents of the employees of Blue Ridge Log Cabins. It was a team effort from start to finish.â€? Also making a special appearance on the show will be First Lady Michelle Obama. Mrs. Obama participated in the episode about the rebuilding of the shelter as part of her Joining Forces initiative, which is designed to highlight the plight of military families.

obtain mercy, and find grace and help in time of need." Romans 5:8 says, “But God commended His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Any time is the right time to seek God. When the disciples asked, “What will be the signs of your coming and of the end of the age?," He responded with words of wisdom, “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars, see that you are not frightened or troubled because this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in place after place. All this is just the beginning, the early pains of the birth pangs… so when you see these signs, know that it is near, even at the doors. As were the days of Noah, shall be the coming of the Son of man be. For just as in

As the nation observed the 10th anniversary of this tragic day, people everywhere remembered and prayed for the survivors and those who lost loved ones. Church attendance increased by approximately 25 percent immediately after 9/11 but dropped back to “normal” within two months. When you listen to the news, how often do you hear words like “never before," "unprecedented," "not in this decade" or "record breaking?” It is human nature to turn to a source of comfort during difficult times. Have you ever heard the derogatory term, “jail house religion?” But, don’t most people pray more when they experience tragedy? What does God think of those who are motivated to seek Him only because they are experiencing trouble? Hebrews 4:16 says, “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may

We don’t hesitate to read a manual produced for our benefit by a manufacturer. So, doesn’t it make good sense to read the Bible, God's manual for His creation? The laws and promises of God are just as dependable as the laws of gravity. Just like a manual, if we follow the instructions, we won’t have a personal life, family and nation that falls apart as a result of not following God’s loving instruction. Joel chapter two says that if God’s people turn to God with their whole heart, he will heal their land. God is no respecter of persons, which means He doesn’t play favorites. Galatians chapter three says that all of the promises given to those in the Old Testament are for believers today. So what can we do in these difficult times? Jesus, in His wisdom, made the promises simple to understand and receive. He tells
us to seek the kingdom of God, to love God with all of our heart and to love our neighbor as our self. During the Great Depression and horrors of war and holocaust, the citizens of our nation worked together. During that time, in the United States, more people per capita attended church and tithed than we do today. Let us return to the safety of God’s plans for us. God provides protection for us just like an umbrella. We know if we step out from under the protection of God’s will, we move away from His protection. When we see a road sign that says “bridge out,” we should take heed. When we see the signs of the times, we should listen to God’s word and be prepared. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Tim 1:7. Jesus promised, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid”. John 14:27. I challenge you to find a church home if you don’t already have C7

Polk women’s tennis dominates early in season by Samantha Hurst
The Polk County women’s tennis team spent the first few weeks of the season grabbing dominating wins, including a 6-3 victory over Mountain Heritage Tuesday, Sept. 13. Wolverine players took their first conference win, 8-1, over Avery Sept. 8. Just the day prior, the girls triumphed over Chapman – a 5-2 win Coach Joel Picher said he was quite proud to get. “They [Chapman] are just a strong team and that was a good gauge for us,” Picher said. “It’s always good to play them early in the season because it lets us know how we’re going to fare in our conference.” The lady Wolverines have beaten Chapman in both a scrimmage and regular match so far this season. Picher said he’s currently focused on working with his players to improve their doubles work in terms of consistency. “You could have two players who can’t pull out a win in their singles matches, but can pull out a win in doubles against the same girls they lost to earlier, simply because they can feed

Polk Middle School volleyball on 3-0 winning streak by Leah Justice
The Polk County Middle School girls’ volleyball team has started its season undefeated, with a record currently at 3-0. The Wolverines have matched up against Macon, Brevard and Rugby and have yet to lose a set. Head coach Beth Burroughs
said the team’s goal this year is to win the division and the conference, having placed second in division and second in conference last year. “I think we’re more aggressive and have more fire this year,” said Burroughs. “Everyone on the team is working hard on offense
and defense.” The Wolverines’ two setters, Lily Owens and Madi Siegfried, have gotten at least 15 assists per set and 30 assists in each match so far this season, Burroughs said. Owens also served 12 points in a row during the first match against Macon.
Haley Kropp, Ashley Love and Savannah Rose have been powerhouses with many kills during the first three games. The Wolverines played at home against Apple Valley on Wednesday, Sept. 14 and play again on Monday at Hendersonville at 4:30 p.m.

Wood speaks on ‘The Unhappiest Unmarried Couple in England’ Drummond House Co. Interiors will sponsor a presentation by English author Martin Wood’s at the Lanier Library on Saturday, Oct. 1 at 2 p.m. Wood will give a talk and picture presentation called “The Unhappiest Unmarried Couple in England.” This talk is the story of the design partnership between Nancy Lancaster, the Virginia-born decorator who, together with the English prince of decorating, John Fowler, introduced English country style, bringing together comfort, beautiful colors, fabrics and everyday living even in grand English houses. This partner-
ship would influence the next half-century of both English and American design. Wood has lectured extensively in both the United States and Great Britain. He is here on a lecture tour in the South. He has written three books on decorating and two garden books. Wood has a new book coming out later this year on the great American decorator, Sister Parrish. Following the presentation there will be a tea and book signing. – article submitted by Gillian Drummond

Celtic musician Jamie Laval to perform Sept. 20 at Lanier Library Celtic musician Jamie Laval will give two performances at the Lanier Library on Tuesday, Sept. 20. At noon he will introduce himself and give a short recital for the library’s monthly Brown Bag Lunch program and at 7 p.m. He will perform a special evening concert. Both programs are free and everyone is welcome. Laval takes his audiences on a journey through the traditional music of Scotland, Ireland, Brittany and Quebec. Described by the San Jose Mercury News as “One of North America’s finest practitioners of Scottish music,” he combines classical refinement with intense passion and transforms simple Celtic melodies into epic tonal narratives. Laval’s trademark style began forming when he studied classical violin at the Victoria Conservatory of Music in British Columbia and became more refined through his numerous performances with symphony orchestras, folk clubs, dance halls, festivals and in recording studios. In 2002 he won the U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Championship and began a touring career, which now includes more than 100 engagements a year in the United States and Scotland. His critically acclaimed debut recording, “Shades of Green,” airs regularly on television and his duo
album, “Zephyr in the Confetti Factory,” with mandolinist Ashley Broder, won Best World Traditional Song in the 2007 Independent Music Awards Vox Populi. He has also collaborated on numerous television, film and CD recordings, including Dave Matthews’ “Some Devil,” Warner Brothers Pictures’ “Wild America” and the WB television series “Everwood.” Laval now lives in Asheville and takes a keen interest in the musical and historical ties that connect Appalachia with the Celtic roots of many of its pioneers. He currently serves on the faculty of the Swannanoa Gathering, a summer institute for traditional arts and music. TheFlute Lanier and Library is located piano at the corner of Chestnut Street musicAve. for inparties, and Melrose Tryon. For directions and more information,

Tryon Arts and Crafts School (TACS) is offering a workshop in Appalachian-style ribbed basketry, taught by Carla Filippelli of Asheville, N.C., on Sept. 24. Participants will have the opportunity to learn the basics of Appalachian-style ribbed basketry and will create a traditional potato basket during this workshop. Once the technique is understood; students will be able to extrapolate to other sizes and styles. Instructor will provide a variety of hand-dyed reeds, all tools, supplies and handouts needed for the class. Tricks of the basket-weaving craft, safety tips and discussion of the rich heritage of crafts in the region will all be topics for discussion and exploration. Bring reading glasses.
