Funding for Landrum downtown parking
Landrum City Council heard a request from Matt Troyer, owner of Foothills Amish Furniture, for hospitality tax dollars to be used to create additional parking in downtown Landrum. Council indicated to Troyer that they were willing to help but his estimate seemed high. The council requested he obtain two additional estimates to look for a lower cost. City Administrator Steve Wolochowicz said the city could use more parking in the downtown area. conlontreecare- page 3

October colors include reds, yellows, oranges – and pink The foothills in October are known for their beautiful colors, warm shades of red, vibrant yellows, brilliant oranges and a hopeful, soft pink. Pink, you might ask? Yes, pink. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month. The pink ribbon represents the hope for a cure of breast cancer, which is the leading cause of death in women ages 40 to 55. According to the American Cancer Society, about 230,480 women in the United States will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in 2011. An additional 57,650 women will be diagnosed with non–invasive breast cancer and approximately 40,000 women will die. Men are also victims of breast cancer; with almost 2,000 cases diagnosed in 2011. In North Carolina, more than 6,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. There is good news – right

This Saturday at 9 a.m. there will be a benefit softball tournament at the recreation ball fields at Polk County Middle School. The benefit tournament is for Kim Jolley, who is fighting breast cancer. Members from local fire departments, EMS, the sherriff’s office and some out-of-town teams will participate. The event will last until a winner is crowned. The public is encouraged to come out, enjoy the day and show support.

Fall colors expected to bring many visitors to WNC

Ideal weather conditions earlier this year are expected to produce exceptional leaf colors this fall and attract many visitors to Western North Carolina, according to regional foliage forecasters. Appalachian State University professor Howard Neufeld estimates the region could enjoy a total economic impact of nearly $1 billion from visitors this fall. He estimates a family of four will spend on average $260 for two nights in a hotel, $60 for gas and $30 per person for food each day for a total of $560. Neufeld said there are no figures on exactly how many people visit the region for the fall leaf viewing season and he suggests a study be done to provide accurate data. Neufeld estimates Western North Carolina will see as many visitors as New Hampshire and Maine, which had about 16 million fall visitors last year. Tourism officials in WNC report strong hotel bookings for the rest of the fall season and many inquiries from people looking to travel to the area in the coming weeks. Higher elevations in WNC are coming into the peak time this week for fall colors. Midelevations are expected to reach peak time during the third week of October, while other areas will follow shortly around the end of the month. Kathy Mathews, a fall foliage forecaster at Western Carolina University, said this year’s leaf color will be boosted by slightly below normal rainfall in the spring and summer and a break from hot temperatures in August. Carlton Burke, director of Carolina Mountain Naturalist, agrees this year’s spring and summer weather will produce an above-average year for fall
colors. “This year it hasn’t been overly wet or overly dry, so it will be a good leaf-turning season,” she said. “Just sit back and enjoy it.” – source: www.citizen-times. com, 9/7/11, 10/4/11 *** Facebook’s expansion of its Rutherford County data center is an example of technology industry growth that has made North Carolina the 16th largest “Cyberstate” in the country, according to a TechAmerica Foundation report. The report shows North Carolina is particularly strong for jobs in computer and peripheral equipment manufacturing, ranking fourth in the nation in that category. Although North Carolina lost 3,100 high-tech industry jobs last year, the loss was half what the state saw in 2009, indicating an improving trend for the industry. Overall, the state had nearly 146,000 high-tech jobs with a total payroll of nearly $12 billion last year, according to Tech-America Foundation. Facebook announced plans this month to begin construction on a second data center building in Rutherford County. The company is one of several that have chosen North Carolina for a data center. Google has a data center in Lenior and Apple has one near Maiden. Time Warner Cable announced plans for a data center in Charlotte and EMC has developed one in Durham. Companies have cited the state’s low-cost electricity, access to water for cooling and state building incentives as reason to come to the Tar Heel state. – source: N.C.

*** Seven weeks after Hurricane Irene swept over eastern North Carolina, causing widespread flooding, the N.C. Department of Transportation has reopened N.C. 12. Heavy flooding resulted in three breaches along the highway between Oregon Inlet and Rodanthe. DOT crews worked around the clock to build a temporary bridge and repair the highway. N.C.

However, sales prices in the 10-county area remained soft, with the average sales price in September down 6.5 percent from September of 2010. – source: Charlotte Business Journal, 10/10/11 *** Among the 100 largest metro areas in the country, Raleigh ranked 56th and Charlotte was 64th for job growth in August, based on U.S. Bureau of Labor statistics.

More than 42 percent said they prefer eastern-style barbecue, while 26 percent preferred western style in the survey of 760 North Carolina voters. The poll also asked the voters whether they agree with a comment by Texas Gov. Rick Perry in 1992 that he had tasted road kill that was better than eastern North Carolina barbeque. About 75 percent of the Tar Heel voters polled said they disagree with that statement and 40 percent said they are less likely to vote for him because of his statement. The poll was conducted by Public Policy Polling between Sept. 30 and Oct. 3.

Her victory earned her $26,401. Proctor, 35, said she has been a longtime fan of the show. She defeated champion Joon Pahk after taking a lead into the final question of Wednesday show and then answering the question correctly. After being prohibited from revealing results of the previously recorded show, Proctor watched Wednesday’s episode with her family in Hendersonville. She said her 2-year-old daughter didn’t understand what was taking place, and her 5-yearold daughter thought the woman on TV was someone with the same name who just happened to look like her mom. – source: www.blueridgenow.com, 10/13/11)

Knights of Columbus donate $500 from Operation Lamb to Exceptional Children’s Program at Tryon Elementary This year’s Operation Lamb set for Oct. 14-15 This past spring the Knights of Columbus Council #9492 presented a $500 check from proceeds of the Operation Lamb 2010 project to Alison Hamrick and Lynn Lance for the Exceptional Children’s Program in the Tryon Elementary School. Students from pre-school to fifth grade with intellectual disabilities are in the exceptional children’s program. The students work on phonics, letter and number recognition, sight words, reading comprehension, math skills (including measurement), geometry data analysis and problem solving.
Although the students receive specialized instruction in small group settings, they are educated as much as possible in the regular classroom. Because of state and federal funding cuts and budget restraints, every donation is used specifically for learning tools and equipment that assist in the child’s development. Hamrick and Lance said they appreciate the support for the exceptional children program from the Knights of Columbus. The Knights of Columbus said they look forward to continued support from the community in the 2011 Operation Lamb campaign, which will be held at the Bi-Lo Food stores on Oct. 14 – 15. – article submitted by Bill Mazurek

Helping, hoping, healing: October is domestic violence awareness month Editor’s note: The following was submitted by Steps to HOPE in observance of October as Domestic Violence Awareness month. Steps to HOPE volunteers often say helping others is a wonderful blessing to share with those in need, but the giver is also the beneficiary of multiple gifts. The poem below expresses this thought. The More You Give The more you give, the more you get. The more you laugh, the less you fret. The more you do unselfishly, the more you live abundantly. The more of everything you share, the more you’ll always have to spare. The more you love, the more you’ll find that life is good and friends
are kind. For only what we give away, enriches us from day to day. – author unknown The help Steps to HOPE gives others, in any capacity, from financial to volunteerism, benefits an individual or family in ways that many people may not fully grasp. For some, Steps to HOPE said, just knowing another person cares is significant. During both difficult economic times and the best of times, help is needed by many. Steps to HOPE provides safe shelter for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault and domestic violence intervention classes for both men and women and parenting classes. For more information, call Steps to HOPE at 828-8942340. – article submitted by Cherie Wright

Blitzen Benz concludes season at 14-hour endurance race The Tryon/Landrum-based Blitzen Benz racing team concluded its second full season with a fifth place in the ChumpCar World Series endurance race, aptly named the “Slightly More than the Sebring 12 Hours.” The event’s name spoofs the internationally famous Sebring 12-hour sports car race that’s been held annually for 60 years on the mid-Florida World War II airport course. The race was run on the full 3.7-mile roadracing course used for the second year by the ChumpCar World Series. About 80 cars started the race. ChumpCar rules penalize a winning car by the margin of victory in races won during the previous six months. Blitzen Benz won The Firecracker Twenty-Four race over the Fourth of July in Nashville, so the team was penalized about nine laps at Sebring. Team owner Ned Gallaher said, “That penalty placed us very near the bottom of the 80-car field - a big hill for us to climb. We feel good finishing that high when racing on a prestigious track known to be tough on cars, as difficult to drive and as competitive as Sebring.” B l i t z e n B e n z ’s s e a s o n highlights were the win at Nashville - a 24-hour event - a win at Rockingham, N.C., and strong finishes in races with

large fields at Charlotte Motor Speedway (fourth for one car and 13th with a second car), the fifth at Sebring and two fourth-place finishes at Roebling Road in Savannah, Ga. “The team also raced in three other races where we did not finish. Still, we believe we have the best overall record in the series with five wins in two years and other high finishes,” said Gallaher. The 2012 race schedule will be announced in early December. Anticipated races near Tryon and the Upstate include
Charlotte Motor Speedway, Virginia International Raceway (Danville, VA), Savannah, Ga. and Road Atlanta, Ga. Drivers this season, in addition to Gallaher, were Warren Board, Hans Huwyler, Peter Mayrhofer, Nicky Pierce and Jim Wright of Tryon and Mark Thomas of Staunton, Va., James Wilson of Asheville, N.C., Tom Cotter of Charlotte, N.C., Brad Phillips of Greenville, S.C. and David Spitzer of St. Augustine, Fla. The crew chief is Rusty Tr e d i n n i c k o f M o u n t a i n Home, N.C. and the mechanic
is Greg Pressley of Hendersonville, N.C. ChumpCar World Series racing events are held at premier road racing courses in the United States, Mexico and Canada. Based on the concept of low cost racing, cars whose average Internet market value is more than $500 are penalized based on a formula. The team’s primary racecar, Baby Blitzen, has been developed from a 1987 Mercedes Benz 190E series sedan. –article submitted by Warren Board

Landrum faces offensive battle at homecoming vs. Southside by Joey Millwood
Landrum football will host Southside Christian tonight and it will be a battle of two powerful offenses. The Sabres are averaging 34.1 points per game while the Cardinals are averaging 31.1 points per game. A closer look at the numbers, however, will show you that the Cardinals offense moves the ball better. The Sabres are throwing the ball for 229 yards per game and rushing at 134 yards per game. The Cardinals are throwing the ball at a rate of 219 yards per game, but are averaging nearly 200 yards per game on the ground. With those numbers in mind, the focus will be on whether
or not the Landrum defense can come up with some big stops again. So far this season, Landrum’s defense has done the trick. The Cardinals are allowing around 16 points per game, but will be tested Friday night. Landrum head coach Russell Mahaffey calls the defensive plays for the Cardinals and he has gotten some good play this year from his kids. The Sabres favor the pass so Brandon Cannon, T.J. Fincher, Aaron Bryant and Kaleb Kuykendall will be the key in tonight’s match-up. It’s a veteran secondary with some ball hawks. The region foes square off at 7:30 p.m.
Riding a wave of confidence following last week’s decisive road win over Avery County, Polk County football returns home to the Little Big House tonight, as the school celebrates homecoming with a full slate of events. Deadlocked in a four-way tie for first place in the Western Highlands Conference, the Wolverines will play host this evening to the Gryphons of Thomas Jefferson Classical Academy. Asked if the hubbub of homecoming activities has diverted attention from the business at hand, Polk County head coach Bruce Ollis just smiled and shook his head. “Our focus has been good,” noted Ollis. “Coaches are always concerned about the distractions associated with homecoming, but our players seem to take it in stride as we prepare for another very important conference game.” The visitors from Mooresboro will bring a pass-oriented attack
similar to the offense Polk faced last week at Avery County. “Our secondary will be challenged again as we were against Avery,” said Ollis. “Our defensive coaches have been working on tighter coverage in the secondary, along with a better pass rush.” To emerge with the victory, the Wolverines will need to contain several key players, including junior QB Mac Martin, a very talented passer and good decision maker, 6’6” sophomore wideout Travis Waldroup-Rodriguez, and junior running back Will McCraw. Though winless so far this season, the Gryphon team the Wolverines will face tonight is, according to Ollis, far from the pushover of seasons past. “Their program is much improved from a year ago,” said Ollis. “They have been scoring on everyone, and are much more physical than in previous years.” The action kicks off tonight at 7:30 p.m. under the lights at Polk County High School.

I was told she doesn’t bark but she whines a lot (no kidding). She seems in good health but I’m having her checked over and she’s scheduled to be spayed. The first time I took her out for a walk and to take some photos she was so anxious to run and play, it broke my heart. I gave her as much exercise
that this old man could handle and when I asked her to sit, she dropped like a stone. I laughingly wrapped my arms around her and said, “You’re not only beautiful, you’re smart too.” I’m currently working on a place where she could run and play until I find her a proper forever home.

How to pick the best Medicare drug plan for you Dear Savvy Senior, I recently received a letter from my Medicare “Part D” prescription drug plan provider notifying me that my premiums and co-pays will be increasing next year, and they are dropping coverage on one of the drugs that I take. How can I find a better drug plan? Frustrated Senior Dear Frustrated, Because Medicare’s prescription drug plans can change their costs and benefits from year-toyear, comparing Part D plans every year during the open enrollment season (which is now Oct. 15 – Dec. 7) is always a smart idea. Here are some tips and resources to help you find the best drug coverage at the lowest price. Do It Yourself If you have a home computer and Internet access, comparing your current Medicare drug plan with the many other plans that are available, and enrolling in one, is something you can do yourself. Just go to Medicare’s online Plan Finder Tool at www.medicare.gov/find-a-plan, and type in your zip code or your personal information, the drugs you take and their dosages, and select the pharmacies you use and you’ll get a cost comparison breakdown for each plan available in your area. This tool also provides a fivestar rating system that evaluates each plan based on past customer service records, and suggests generics or older brand name drugs that can reduce your costs. When comparing drug plans don’t judge a plan strictly by its monthly premium cost. Lowpremium plans are often associated with higher prescription co-payments and may end up being more expensive. So take a look at the whole pricing package, including premiums, deductibles and co-pays. Also, be sure the plan you’re considering covers all of the drugs you take with no restrictions. Some plans may require you to get permission or try a number
of cheaper drugs before they will cover certain prescriptions. Need help If you need some help with this or if you don’t have Internet access to compare drug plans, you can call Medicare at 800-633-4227 and they will do the comparing for you over the phone for free, and enroll you in a new plan when you’re ready. Some other great resources that can help you are the Medicare Rights Center (medicarerights. org), a nonprofit consumer service organization that maintains a hotline at 800-333-4114 to help answer your Medicare questions. And, your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), which provides free one-on-one Medicare counseling in person or over the phone. To find a local SHIP counselor visit shiptalk.org,
or call 800-6771116. If you want even more help, consider Allsup Inc. (866-521-7655, medicare. allsup.com). This is a national feebased company that offers a Medicare Advisor Part D plan selection service that takes your information over the phone or online and does the comparing and analyzing for you, and then helps you choose and enroll in a plan that best meets your needs and budget. The fee for this service is $75. Shrinking donut hole You also need to know that Medicare’s “donut-hole” coverage gap will shrink a little more next year. Thanks to health care reform, Medicare Part D beneficiaries that hit the coverage gap in 2012 will again receive a 50 percent discounts on brand-name drugs and an increased 14 percent discount on generic medications.
Savvy Senior
For 2012, the coverage gap begins if your total drug cost exceeds $2,930 (that includes your share and the insurer’s share of the costs) and ends when your total costs reach $6,657.50. After that, your Part D plan usually covers around 95 percent of your remaining drug costs for the year. Savvy tip: If your income is under $16,335 a year (or $22,065 for married couples) and your assets are below $12,640 (or $25,260 for married couples), may be eligible for “Extra Help” in paying for their Medicare prescription drug coverage. For more information call 800-772-1213 or visit www. ssa.gov/prescriptionhelp. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.
