Hospice marks 30 years of relief from pain and suffering for patients, families by Samantha Hurst
A decade ago Calvin Carson knew little about hospice. The organization had been around the area for 20 years but had yet to touch his life. Now Carson has seen hospice from every angle as a caregiver, a vol-
unteer and a patient himself and he knows its impact. “It has showed me that there are people out there who truly care about your life,” Carson said. “These volunteers are there to make sure you get everything you need to make your life easier
Serving Polk County and Upper Spartanburg and Greenville Counties
– whatever stage you’re in.” Executive Director Jean Eckert said for the past 30 years that has been the focus of local hospice efforts – pain management and relief of suffering. (Continued on page 3)

“My perspective really is that it’s a God thing. These kinds of things don’t happen without good energy and good intentions that have been put on the hearts of our staff and our volunteers,” Eckert said. Hospice this year commemorates three decades of service in Polk County and the Upstate of South Carolina. In the late 1970s, concerned citizens like Tracy Lamar, David Wells and Jack Allen put efforts in motion to create this new service, Eckert said. “There were a lot of people here in our area who were dying and weren’t getting the proper attention and care that was available,” Eckert said. “It’s great to see it come to this level of care.” Hospice has served 6,185 patients over the past three decades, with 14 area nursing, assisted living and retirement communities (Continued on page 4)

using hospice and palliative care services for their residents. On average, 170 volunteers assist in helping those patients and their families. The role Hospice volunteers play is vital, Eckert said. These individuals provide a comforting and understanding ear because they are not afraid of saying the wrong thing or not knowing what to do for the person nearing the end of their life. Carson began his journey as a hospice volunteer five years ago – pitching in with everything from letter mailing to 11th-hour duties in which a volunteer sits with a patient during their last moments if family members or friends are not nearby. Carson said it’s inspiring to think he may have put a little sunshine in someone’s life just as the volunteers are now doing for him. Director of Outreach Marsha VanHecke said she’s seen numer-
ous patients and patient families find a real connection with the volunteers. “It’s such an intimate, dramatic part of life that it really makes people bond,” Van Hecke said. “The important thing for people to understand is that hospice is not just for people who are dying. It’s for people and their families. It can teach you how to help. It can explain things better.” VanHecke said for many patients it also helps them overcome a hurdle in their recovery. She said that’s why many times the end-of-life terminology is misleading. “We see it as being in a continuum – it means that for most of our patients they have a disease progression that is not going to be cured immediately but it doesn’t mean they are going to die in six days, in six months or even for some in six years,” she said. “Our goal is to give them a strong quality of life whatever their time left may be.”

Man dies in Pianist Asuncion performs at BRCC Nov. 8 one-vehicle The Blue Ridge Commu- lection, the Corcoran Gallery, nity College (BRCC) concert 92nd Street Y and the Santa crash on Hwy. 9 series presents pianist Victor Fe, Aspen, Madison, Virtuosi, by Leah Justice
A Moore, S.C., man was killed in a one-vehicle crash on Monday, Oct. 31 in Green Creek, according to the N.C. Highway Patrol. Bennett Charles Summey, 37 was traveling south on Hwy. 9 when he ran off the road to the right, hit a small embankment and flipped, according to N.C. State Trooper Matthew Strawbridge. Strawbridge said Summey’s vehicle was estimated to be going 100 m.p.h. at the time of the wreck. Summey was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected from the vehicle, Strawbridge said. The wreck occurred in a curve near Harmon Dairy around 10:40 a.m. Monday. Summey was driving a four-door Land Rover.
Santiago Asuncion on Tuesday, Nov. 8 at 7:30 p.m. in Thomas Auditorium. The all-Liszt program, in commemoration of the bicentennial of the composer’s birth, will feature two Hungarian rhapsodies, the B minor sonata and transcriptions of works by Schubert, Wagner and Gounod. As a recitalist and concerto soloist, Asuncion has appeared in major concert halls in Brazil, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Turkey and the Philippines. He played his orchestral debut at the age of 18 with the Manila Chamber Orchestra and his New York recital debut in Carnegie’s Weill Recital Hall in 1999. A chamber music enthusiast, he has performed with many renowned artists at venues that include the Phillips Col-
Pera and Amelia Island music festivals. He has served on the faculty of the Aspen Music Festival and the Garth Newel Summer Music Festival. This past summer he was a featured performer at the HighlandsCashiers Chamber Music Festival in N.C. Asuncion is currently associate professor of piano and director of collaborative arts studies at the Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music at the University of Memphis. He received his doctor of musical arts degree in 2007 from the University of Maryland at College Park. All concerts feature open (non-reserved) seating.

Should alcohol sales be allowed on Sundays in Landrum restaurants? Do you think Landrum voters should approve the referendum for Sunday alcohol sales? So far, 79 percent of the 53 voters who have given their opinion on our website say they think restaurants should be allowed to sell alcohol on Sundays. Eleven voters or 21 percent said the town should not change the rules allowed within the Landrum city limits. On the Bulletin’s facebook page, Debbie Greene Noland said, “Yes, we live in America. We should be able to have a drink on Sunday.” Amy Bustle Connelly said, “If they care about freedom... and helping business in Landrum they will!” Brian Connelly said, “If they want to create jobs this will pass.” But there are those who think the move would be a bad idea for their city. John D Williams III said, “NO!!!!!” While our writers and editors do not live within Landrum’s city limits we do believe there could be benefits to allowing the restaurants to offer alcohol especially when there are many people driving into Columbus, Saluda and Tryon to visit restaurants that do so. There is definitely an economic benefit the city cannot take advantage of currently. This could potentially bring new revenue to the city, especially since Landrum’s hospitality dollars originate from restaurant sales and not lodging sales as in other area cities. At the same time, it is important not to ignore the dangers of alcohol consumption when adults are not responsible about the amount they drink - this is not necessarily more important on Sunday than any other day, however. We’re still looking for your input on this important referendum. You can vote in our online poll at www.tryondailybulletin. com or call us to include your opinion by calling our newsroom at 828-859-9151. — Editorial staff, Tryon Daily Bulletin

Fire dept. officials advise checking smoke alarms Nov. 6 Glassy Mountain Fire Department (GMFD) urges residents to change and test the batteries in their smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors when they change clocks back an hour for the end of daylight savings time on Sunday, Nov.6. GMFD has joined forces with Energizer and the International Association of Fire Chiefs for the “Change Your Clock Change Your Battery” campaign, which urges all Americans to adopt the habit of changing smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector batteries when changing clocks back on Sunday, Nov. 6.
The International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) report that approximately every three hours a home fire death occurs somewhere in the nation and 66 percent of those occur in homes without working smoke alarms. The commonly cited cause of non-working smoke alarms is worn or missing batteries. IAFC recommends replacing your smoke alarms every ten years. “Fire fatalities in home fires usually occur between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. when most families are sleeping,” said Bryan Riebe, Glassy Mountain
Fire service area chief. “Smoke alarm maintenance is a simple, effective way to reduce home fire deaths. Children and senior citizens are most at risk, and a working smoke alarm can give them the extra seconds they need to get out safely.” Chief Riebe also recommends residents test smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors by pushing the test button, plan and practice escape routes and make sure fellow neighbors and community members do the same. Families should also prepare a fire safety kit that includes working flashlights and fresh batteries.
“The GMFD has some smoke alarms available for those who don’t have them. To request one, contact the headquarters at 864-895-4306,” Riebe adds. For more information about fire safety, call the GMFD at the number above. For more information on the “Change Your Clock Change Your Battery” program, call the hotline at 314-727-5700 x108, or call the International Association of Fire Chiefs at 703-273-0911 or email corporaterelations@iafc.org. - article submitted by Chief Bryan G.

Gordon honored for 25 years of service On Monday, Sept. 26, Autumn Care of Saluda honored Dorothy Gordon, CNA, on her 25th year of service to the resident’s of the facility. In recognizing Gordon, Administrator Glenn Pierce stated, “In this day and age of people having three and four different careers in life, it’s a unique achievement for an individual to stay 25 years in the same place.” Alethea Capps, director of nursing, presented Gordon with an engraved silver water globe. “Dorothy is certainly an inspiration to us all, and a true example
of our core value of ‘Dedicated to Service Above Self,’” Capps said. During her 25 years of service, Gordon has been the facility’s employee of the month and in 2008 was a winner of the North Carolina Health Care Facilities Association’s (NCHCFA) Fabulous 50 Award. The event ended with a reception prepared by the dietary department. It was an opportunity for employees and residents to thank Gordon for her service and her friendship. - article submitted by Glenn Pierce

See You at the Pole™ gathering
On Sept. 28, 150-175 students, teachers and community members gathered at PCMS for See You at the Pole™. See You at the Pole is a global day of student prayer that began in 1990 as a grass roots movement with 10 students praying at their school. Twenty years later, millions pray on their campuses on the fourth Wednesday in September. See You at the Pole™ is simply a prayer rally where students meet at the school flagpole before school to lift up their friends, families, teachers, school and nation to God. See You at the Pole™ is a student-initiated, student-organized and student-led event. (photo submitted by Carlann Scherping)

Vining told the Lions about her travels this past summer to Ireland, England, France, Belgium, Holland and the Netherlands with a group of 44 students from Western North Carolina. She said her favorite memories are of the many different people she met and the variety of places, customs and architecture she saw. She also said she was very impressed with her visits to the World War II sites of Omaha Beach in Normandy, the site of the Battle of the Bulge in Belgium and the home of Anne Frank in the Netherlands. Vining expressed her feeling that the People to People program had changed her life by giving her a better understanding of the world. The Columbus Lions meet on
the first and third Thursday evenings at Calvert’s Restaurant in Columbus, and they encourage anyone interested in community service to visit with them. For information, call Fran Goodwin at 828-894-2505. – article submitted by Helen Trevathan

Bridge Players Corner by Karl Kachadoorian
After East opened 1 Heart in first position, South arrived at 4 Spades. West led the Heart 3 and South, an experienced player, stopped to review the situation before playing from the dummy. At first glance, it appears that if the Club finesse is on, South can draw trumps and make 5 and if it is offside he will still make 4. However, declarer didn’t stop his analysis there. He went back to basics and reviewed the bidding. Since North & South have 24 HCP’s and East opened the bidding, it appears that East should hold most of the outstanding high cards. With this information in hand, declarer adopted a line of play to keep West out of the
lead and prevent the defense from cashing 2 Diamond tricks. Based on the opening lead, the winning line of play is not that difficult. All declarer has to do is play small from the dummy at trick 1 and let West win the trick. This play severs the defenses’ line of communication so that West is unable to get in to lead Diamonds through the dummy. Thus the contract is guaranteed since the most the defense can get is 1 trick each in Hearts, Diamonds and Clubs. In summary, the key to declarer’s play was; 1) developing a plan before playing to the first trick 2) “reading” the opening lead and

3) Placing cards in the opponents hands. Note! Since East had such a poor defensive hand he might have surmised that it could be his last chance to be on lead. Therefore he should have led

the Heart Jack through the dummy at trick 1. This would make it impossible for declarer to gain by ducking and West could then switch to Diamonds, the Queen is best, at trick 2 to defeat the contract.
