Polk clerk of court Owens to retire Judge to appoint new clerk until 2012 election by Leah Justice

She was subsequently re-elected to three four-year terms. “I have enjoyed working in the clerk of courts office for the past 34 years,”

• Owens retires

“I have enjoyed working in the clerk of courts office for the past 34 years. During that time I have met many interesting people, made lifelong friendships and been involved in the constant updating of the office with computers and data systems. I have a wonderful staff that goes beyond the scope of their duties to help the citizens of Polk County.”

Owens said. “During that time I have met many interesting people, made lifelong friendships and been involved in the constant updating of the office with computers and data systems. I have a wonderful staff that goes beyond the scope of their duties to help the citizens of Polk County.” Owens’ last day will be Dec. 31. Owens, a Democrat, will have slightly less than three years left of her current term when she retires, so a Democrat will have to be appointed to fill her position. The Democratic Party Executive Committee will make a recommendation for the position and the chief superior court judge will make the final appointment. An election in November 2012 will determine who will fill the remaining two years of Owens’ unexpired term. Another election will be held in 2014 to choose the clerk of superior court for the next four-year term, according to the

Polk County Board of Elections. During Owens’ terms, she was chosen as Region C Clerk of the Year and served on numerous boards and committees in Polk County. Owens and her staff also had several challenges in the courthouse throughout her terms. They had to move the offices so the historic courthouse could be renovated on two different occasions.
“That was quite an experience to move six rooms of equipment, files and books and set up a new office while staying open,” she said. The duties at the courthouse also grew over Owens’ years. She said she now hears and rules on cases that were formerly heard only by a district or superior court judge. “Our case filings have tripled in the last 10 years and we are seeing more foreclosures,” said Owens. “Where I normally held hearings on about 10 foreclosures a month, I now have 10 or more a week.”

Tryon now equipped with mobile 311 technology System tracks employee location by Leah Justice
The Tryon Police Department has new technology that the town hopes to implement for its public works, fire department and planning operations as well. Tryon Town Council met Tuesday, Oct. 18 and heard a presentation from police chief Jeff Arrowood about the benefits of Mobile 311. The software enables officers to instantly report the location, time and type of call to which they are responding. Arrowood is able to take the information and map officer activity. Arrowood said the technology is very useful in terms of officer accountability, time studies and

locations. Tryon officers used to manually put into a computer their activities, but with Mobile 311 an officer has an iPad in the vehicle and can input the road and push a button. Mobile 311 can create a work order saying the officer is in a meeting, meeting with a resident or any other activity, Arrowood said. The software tells where the officer is at what time. The officers can also add comments if necessary. “I can look at all officers, or just one officer and see what all they’ve done,” Arrowood said. “Before, we were writing down about 5,000 events per year. With this, we did 5,000 events just in July.” The town hopes to implement the software to other departments soon to help track work orders and activity for better reporting.

District 38 Rep. Doug Brannon speaks to Landrum Republicans by Samantha Hurst
Doug Brannon, representing House District 38 in South Carolina, spoke to a gathering of Landrum Republicans and candidates for city council and the District One Board of Trustees Oct. 24. Brannon talked of what he called the two most pressing concerns in education in the state – school consolidation and the falsity of school choice. “If anybody starts talking about consolidating the seven in Spartanburg County they’ll have to do it over my dead body,� Brannon said. “I want my children to go to school where they know that Dr. Garner is their superintendent.� Brannon said there is one school district in lower South Carolina with a total of 970 students, which makes sense to consolidate. He said a similar move here would not make sense. Brannon also cautioned attendees to do their research when they hear people discussing school choice bills. He said “money people� from out of state are trying to move public funds to private schools, not improve school choice. Brannon touted the hard work of teachers and administrators in District 1 and said they should be
commended for moving their system up to the second-best district in the state.

If these hills could talk introducing our Progress edition Tucked in between the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains lives a diverse people. Some have grown up in these hills, some settled here to raise families and still others chose this picturesque part of Western North Carolina to spend their golden years. The Bulletin plans to work over the next few months to feature those lives and the unique stories intertwined within them. Progress, a special publication with the purpose of telling stories at the core of our community, will be published in February. The publication will follow the theme, “If these hills could talk.” The Bulletin staff will use this theme to guide us as we imagine what stories these hills would tell - stories of our history, stories of present heroes and stories of our future leaders. Our writers have mapped out plans covering the railroad and Dark Corner. We’ve discussed articles highlighting the entrepreneurial spirit of the foothills and features on retirees who have led fascinating lives. We will emphasize hometown heroes and inspiring kids, as well as looking into why our area has become such a haven for artists and those looking to heal. There is still time to give us input on what you think deserves unique coverage in this special publication. These features will get in-depth attention from our writers over the next few months as we work to get to the deeper stories that aren’t often told through our newspaper pages.

Landrum candidates answer questions from Bulletin Editor’s note: The Bulletin asked municipal candidates to Answer a set of questions. Below are the answeres provided by Landrum candidates. Incumbent council candidates Jon Matheis, Joyce Whiteside and Randy Wohnig and challenger John Carruth are vying for three open seats. 1.What will be your top priorities if elected to the Landrum City Council? John J. (Johnny) Carruth: If elected I would work to help Landrum grow and improve life for the citizens of this great city and area. I will strive to work with the great citizens and council to do what is best for all who live here. I would study the current budget, policies and departments to see if we are in line with similar size cities in our area. We need to see how as a
city we can be more competitive to attract new business. I would be proactive in asking citizens their opinion about issues and to encourage openness between government and people. Before I acted on any measure I would ask myself what effects it will have on us now and in the future. We need to be foresighted, plan for our present and for the future of those who will follow – do what we need and be careful in what we want.
Jon Matheis: To formulate a plan that will shape the look and feel of Landrum in five years and beyond. This plan must include maintaining a welcoming community that not only thrives financially, but also moves forward and gives back to its residents. Our vision must be of struc-
tured growth that brings more residents and business in, while maintaining the small city feel that already exists. We must also strive to remain fiscally responsible so that our city continues to serve its citizens without placing any additional burden on them. Joyce Whiteside: My top priority if re-elected to the town/ city council is to make sure that we finish the work that is laid out on the table, such as the sidewalks project in process on North Randolph Avenue. It’s slow but in the process. My second priority is the rebirth of the Landrum Depot. We need to find ways to generate revenue to the city, so our citizens do not have to endure a tax increase. Thirdly, I would like to promote our city for new busi-

nesses to come to Landrum. We need to search for grants to help replace housing on our vacant lots. Our neighborhoods can be rebuilt for our seniors as well as our next generation. We need to keep our neighborhoods thriving with all of our age groups. We need all of us to move forward to the next level. In time it will make people think of Landrum as a stopping point, and not a quick stop for cheap gas. We must keep our wonderful and thriving city moving forward. Our goal is to make Landrum a great place to visit and a great place to live.
Randy Wohnig: My top priorities are and will be to continue to work with residents and business owners to keep (Continued on page 16)

the quality of living in Landrum the best it can be. 2. What issues do you see facing the city and what would you do to address those issues during your term? Johnny Carruth: I see very challenging economic times for our local municipal, state and federal governments because of fewer revenues, rising costs and changing public opinion on what our governments should do for their people. We will have to make very tough decisions on what is necessary and what is not. I will look for ways to cut costs first and look for every grant available (government and private) as long as it does not cost us in the long run. I think we need to think differently than we normally do. We will need to look for organizations and citizens to volunteer their manpower, leadership,
etc. to cut the cost of certain projects they and we want done. We will also need to encourage employees to come up with true ways to doing their jobs with the most efficient way. In doing so we may be able to cut costs while getting more things done. Jon Matheis: In this economy our most pressing issue is to maintain the services that Landrum provides under our current budget without the need for a property tax increase, which I am already on record voting against. Landrum needs to work vigorously at bringing in additional revenue from outside through the use of targeted advertising throughout the southeast and beyond. Joyce Whiteside: The issue facing us now is housing for our seniors. We have a lot of undeveloped tracts in our city. We need to diligently search for development grants, partnerships and finances to bridge our housing needs. I will do my very best not to
raise taxes. We need new ideas to generate funds and not just raising taxes. We can raise revenue with new businesses and more people moving in wanting home ownership. We could form partnerships to develop unused properties. We can search for funding to upgrade senior and low-income houses. These are just some of my ideas for new funds and upgrading our neighborhoods. We must take a serious look at our spending. Let’s put our spending in their proper priorities and get more efficient in what we do. We have to cut those inefficient processes and methods of doing business. We are doing a great job but we can do better. Some areas can be done cheaper and more efficiently by private services. It’s worth investigating for justification of present services.
Randy Wohnig: As a councilman, resident and business owner, I want to see our cost of living as low as possible. I have been part of a small tax

increase. The fact is all city costs have risen but increases in city revenue have not kept the same pace. 3. What is your vision for the future of Landrum’s depot and how do you plan to pay for that vision? Johnny Carruth: My vision is probably a lot greater than we would be able to afford at this time. I like a lot of what I have heard and seen. I would like to see it keep as true to historical as possible but brought up to date and be more multiuse with a lot of natural light. I would want it to be very energy efficient and eco or green building. I would probably try to have it done in stages and use volunteers, grants and donations, fundraisers, community service time, etc. When the city hall was remodeled it was done in part by the Navy Seabees. We may be able to find other armed services construction divisions that need projects. I do believe we should do everything we can to not put any more burden on the taxpayers and to get as many people involved as possible for pride. Jon Matheis: I see Landrum’s depot as a new focal point for the northwest end of Landrum. The architectural contract has been awarded and work is scheduled to begin in mid 2012. This will provide a location for outdoor entertainment and Landrum’s farmers market, and will be also able to be rented out for receptions and meetings. This use of the depot will provide additional revenue for Landrum. Part of the cost to renovate the depot will come from the hospitality funds our city already has. In addition to those hospitality funds we will seek out grants and consider a bond issue. In this way, we will not (Continued on page 17)

put any additional burden on our taxpayers. Joyce Whiteside: I have a vision for the future of the Landrum Depot. We have started the groundwork for its development. We want it to be the focal point of the city. There we can share our history and our proud heritage. We all have city history and items of our past, present and future. Let’s come together and share. It can and will be a place for wedding, meetings, celebration and many other social events. With that come more funds for the city and more community pride. We, the council, have started the remodel project. It will take a lot of work and money. It can also be a unifying source for local businesses, and individuals can donate time and funds.
We’ll need work done from the roof to the curb appeal. The master plan will allow the citizens to step up to show their pride in remembrance of a loved one and cut costs at the same time. We will continue searching for other sources of funding to make this project happen.
Randy Wohnig: Many have expressed interest in the renovation of the depot. It is used frequently and would be an asset to the community for many years. I think it would be great to have a hub for activities in town for use by all. There are grants available. We also have at our disposal hospitality funds to see the project to completion. 4. Landrum residents will choose in November whether or not to allow restaurants to sell alcohol on Sundays. What do you see as the benefits or harm to the city if the refer-
endum is approved? Johnny Carruth: I don’t see any benefits to this issue that are not offset by the harm that can and probably will come from this referendum if it is passed. As I see it, this would give the citizens one more day a week, at least 52 more days a year, to be at risk of being harmed by someone who is driving or abusive while intoxicated. I do not believe we should do this just because other cities have done this, for if we are to help this area to be safer and unique we must guard against things that might harm it. I also think there are less harmful ways to generate revenues for the city or businesses. Jon Matheis: I can understand people may worry that the passing of this referendum could lead to an increase in alcohol-related problems. Greenville approved Sunday

sales in 2000, Spartanburg did so in 2003, and Greer did last year. In that time, no police chief, mayor or members of any city council or representative from MADD had noted any problems with, or raised any concerns about, the impact of Sunday sales. The benefits of Sunday sales would be additional hospitality tax funds, additional jobs, and more business for local vendors and suppliers, and this would make us more attractive to tourists. This would make us more competitive with Greenville, Spartanburg, Greer and Tryon, all of which currently allow Sunday sales. Joyce Whiteside: It was said by the merchants that alcohol sales on Sunday could bring in more revenue. It would give them justification to be open. It would give our citizens a (Continued on page 18)

Tryon Christmas Parade set for Wednesday, Dec. 14
From our editor: In my extended family of 19 cousins and almost 30 second cousins, there can be a real fight in the kitchen over grandma's chocolate pies at Christmas. So my mother made a point of always whipping up our own batch of chocolate heaven at home. Ours was No Bake Cookies; an eewy gooey mixture of peanut butter, chocolate and oatmeal. I can't wait to make those same cookies with my children one day. Tell us your favorite family recipes and the story behind them.
No Bake Cookies 1 3/4 cups white sugar 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup butter 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter 3 cups quick-cooking oats 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Directions: In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa. Bring to a boil, and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in peanut butter, oats, and vanilla. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto wax paper. Let cool until hardened.
CALLING ALL FOODIES... the Tryon Daily Bulletin is seeking recipes for our annual Holiday Gift Guide! Does grandma make a pie that you and your uncles fight over? Does your family make tacos instead of turkey for Christmas? We’re seeking recipes from community members that love to share food with others. Mail them to 16 N. Trade Street, Tryon 28782 or email them to news@tryondailybulletin.com Deadline: Nov. 11, 2011
Each year the Tryon Fire Department (TFD) puts on the annual Tryon Christmas Parade. This year’s parade will take place at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 14. It will start from the Methodist Church parking lot and wind less than a mile downtown, ending with the opportunity for all children to visit with Santa. TFD will do the physical work, but the department asks for financial help. Businesses and individuals alike are invited to contribute.
TFD needs to cover costs not only of the Christmas bags that Santa distributes, but also floats and marching bands. Contributions can be sent to the Tryon Fire Department, Attn: Christmas Parade, 301 N. Trade St., Tryon, N.C. 28782. Any businesses, churches, civic organizations, clubs or individuals that wish to enter the parade should call 828-859-9566. – article submitted by Joey Davis

we think about government, and each other. We don’t need to focus on ourselves and the government but to look at the community and see what we can do for them. Once we do that, things will seem to start looking a lot better. We are responsible for part of the problems because we all ask the government to do for us. We must ask less to change, resulting in more money. Jon Matheis: As my answers to previous questions have shown, I am strongly in favor of overcoming these shortfalls in revenues by finding new sources of income such as the Landrum depot or increasing current sources such as our income from hospitality funds. I do not, however, wish to increase the burden on our citizens through such things as property tax increases, which as I have stated I am on record as voting against. The more tourism we can generate the lighter the tax burden will be on our residents. Joyce Whiteside: I will work to help us solve our shortfalls in finance and build to a bright future. We can cut spending and create a bridge from the past to a brighter future. Randy Wohnig: Landrum has adjusted well to decreases in revenue in the past. This council will do its best to cope with the loss. If it means cutbacks in service, so be it.

choice to stay for meals they would have had elsewhere. There is the other side of alcohol-related crime. The police department may have more calls as a result of alcohol sales. This is a decision that our citizens will make in November with a vote. Randy Wohnig: Should the measure pass there will be some uptown and surrounding area shops that will see increased activity. There will be some Sunday traffic through town. Some people that take Sunday to be with their family, friends and worship will now be working. Is it worth it? 5. All small towns are seeing significant decreases in state revenues as a result of the economic downturns of the past several years. How do you plan to overcome those shortfalls in revenues in the future? Johnny Carruth: We will need to be very resourceful with the revenues we have, spending only on the things we have to and not waste on the things we want. I do believe we are in the most challenging times that we have seen in the last 60 years, but we can rise to this challenge and overcome it in time. We all will have to sacrifice and adjust what we want to change the way

Smothers Brothers meet George Morris Nov. 1 What do the Smothers Brothers and famed Olympic equestrian coach George Morris have in common? They will be represented in two very different ways at the Nov. 1, 7 p.m. showing at the Tryon Movie Theatre of “Tales and Legends of Tryon Horse Country.” The “Tales and Legends” documentary is filled with stories from horsemen such as Morris, who were in Tryon during its formative equestrian days. Morris recounts tales of what it was like to compete at the Olympic Trials course at Cotton Patch in Tryon. “Tales and Legends” includes rare old Tryon and Olympic team movie footage of Morris, Bill Steinkraus, Frank Chapot and Hugh Wiley navigating challenging jumping courses. Moviegoers are urged to get to the theatre early, before the 7 p.m. showing, to bid on silent auction items in the lobby, the proceeds of which will help create a condensed version of “Tales and Legends” to make available for community programs.
In addition to wine baskets, jewelry and riding lessons from Gerald Pack and Jeannie Smith, silent auction items will include a 1989 bottle of “Smothers Vintage Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon” from Smothers Brothers Wine in California. This bottle was presented to a local horsewoman from comedian Dick Smothers, whose former wife and daughter participated in equestrian events north of Tryon. The Nov. 1 movie event follows the thread of original equestrian events, such as Steeplechase, Tryon Hounds and Tryon Horse Show, which were started by Carter P. Brown, as told by his son Austin Brown. Remembrances are also shared by Betty Oare and Bucky Reynolds, who grew up in Tryon. Tales are told about Carter Brown, Arthur Reynolds, Lefty Flynn, F. Scott Fitzgerald, David Niven, Mr. and Mrs. Ernst Mahler, Gordon Wright and others.

Breast cancer information from St. Luke’s Hospital To raise awareness and prevention of breast cancer, October is nationally recognized as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. “In the last 30 years, doctors have made great strides in diagnosing and treating the disease and in reducing breast cancer deaths,” said St. Luke’s Hospital Director of Radiology Teresa Marlowe. Most breast lumps aren’t cancerous. Yet the most common sign of breast cancer for both men and women is a lump or thickening in the breast. Often, the lump is painless. Other signs of breast cancer include: • A spontaneous clear or bloody discharge from your nipple. • Retraction or indentation of your nipple. • A change in the size or contours of your breast. • Any flattening or indentation of the skin over your breast. • Redness or pitting of the skin
over your breast, like the skin of an orange. A number of factors other than breast cancer can cause breasts to change in size or feel. In addition to the natural changes that occur during pregnancy and menstrual cycle, other common noncancerous (benign) breast conditions include: • Fibrocystic changes. This condition can cause your breasts to feel ropy or granular. Fibrocystic changes are extremely common, occurring in at least half of all women. • Cysts. These are fluid-filled sacs that frequently occur in the breasts of women ages 35 to 50. Cysts can range from very tiny to about the size of an egg. They can increase in size or become more tender just before your menstrual period, and may disappear completely after it. Cysts are less common in postmenopausal women. • Fibroadenomas. These are solid, noncancerous tumors that
often occur in women during their reproductive years. A fibroadenoma is a firm, smooth, rubbery lump with a well-defined shape. It will move under your skin when touched and is usually painless. • Infections. Breast infections, mastitis, are common in women who are breast-feeding or who recently have stopped breastfeeding, although you can also develop mastitis when you’re not nursing. Breasts will likely be red, warm, tender and lumpy and the lymph nodes under arm may swell. • Trauma. Sometimes a blow to your breast or a bruise also can cause a lump. • Calcium deposits (microcalcifications). These tiny deposits of calcium can appear anywhere in your breast and often show up on a mammogram. Marlowe urges, “If you find a lump or other change in your breast and haven’t yet gone through menopause, you may
want to wait through one menstrual cycle before seeing your doctor. If the change hasn’t gone away after a month, have it evaluated promptly.” Below are some strategies according to the American Cancer Society that may help decrease risk of breast cancer: • Limit alcohol. • Maintain a healthy weight. • Stay physically active. • Limit fat in your diet. In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, St. Luke’s Hospital is sponsoring free breast exams. Women with no insurance or who do not have a regular doctor are candidates. Exams will be offered Thursday, Oct. 27, from 5:30 – 7 p.m. at St. Luke’s Hospital. Refreshments will be available. Appointments are necessary; call 828-894-2408 to check eligibility and schedule an exam. – article submitted by Jennifer Wilson

Grandfather’s ghost seen in theTopmoonlight Quality Horse One of the ghost stories told often over the years in Dark Corner was an incident that happened in the Blue Ridge, Georgia area. It was a true tale of something that happened in Scout Executive Lawrence L. Stanley’s life as a young man. He told ghost stories to thousands of Boy Scouts from all over the Greater Greenville and Laurens areas around Wednesday night campfires at Camp Old Indian. The night he saw his grandfather’s ghost in the moonlight was a favorite story. Stanley’s grandfather, Aaron Stanley, died in 1919. Shortly thereafter, his grandmother moved from their old home to the home of one of her sons. She left rose bushes and other flowering plants to run wild in the old garden that she had planted for many years. A path that was a short cut across Fox Mountain led through this flower garden. It made a twomile difference in the distance between Big Creek Baptist Church in Fannin County and Big Creek School in Gilmer County. During the following summer, the path through the flower garden became overgrown with weeds, grass and briars, which could hide copperhead snakes that would feed on rats and mice in it. Mr. Stanley, who was a teenager when his favorite grandfather died, had been away in Knoxville, Tenn., when he decided, on the
