White Oak completed nine holes of the planned 18-hole golf course around October 2008, but since that time has not completed further work, and the planned golf facilities of Club at White Oak have never been completed, the lawsuit said. “In the time since their purchase of the property, the Neaults have repeatedly expressed their concerns to White Oak about the lack of progress on the golf facilities,” the lawsuit states. The Neaults sent a letter on June 10, 2011 that formally exercised their rights under the addendum to the contract and demanded that White Oak repurchase the property, and White Oak has failed and refused to repurchase the property, states the lawsuit. White Oak also faces legal action by Polk County, which has (Continued on page 4)

James Howard Burnett
James Burnett, age 70, of Rutherfordton, N.C. died Sunday at his home. A native of Polk County, he was the son of the late John and Julie Haynes Burnett. He was a retired supervisor for Stonecutter Mills in Mill Spring. He was a member of Sunrise Baptist Church. He is survived by one son,

filed a lawsuit against the development for not completing payments for a water line the county constructed at an initial cost of $359,505. To date, according to county officials, White Oak still owes the county $115,752.50 after the last payment of $5,000 was made on March 25, 2011. White Oak attorney Phillip Feagan answered Polk County’s lawsuit on Nov. 8, saying the development admits it owes money to the county but asks that the lawsuit be amended to include payments made to the county since the initial lawsuit was filed in 2010. At the time the lawsuit was filed, White Oak still owed Polk County $135,752.50 and has since made payments. Feagan said White Oak has never indicated it doesn’t have the obligation to pay the county for the water line. He said currently White Oak is in negotiations to try to bring in a development partner to develop a new plan that would allow a re-launching of White Oak. Feagan added that negotiations with a development partner would include taking care of the water line obligation as well as paying the county taxes owed. “(White Oak developers are) hoping they are going to be able to make something happen,” Feagan said. Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson said the county is still waiting for a court date for the lawsuit to be heard. He said in the

Memorial services will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 1 at Sonrise Baptist Church. Online condolences at www. crowemortuary.com. meantime, the county will not turn water on for the property until the payment for the water line is made in full. Currently five homes have been constructed at White Oak, with only one obtaining a final certificate of occupancy. All of the houses applied for septic improvement permits except one, which stated it was going to have a community system for both septic and well, according to the Polk County Building Inspections Office. White Oak made agreements to receive water from Polk County and sewer service from the Town of Rutherfordton. According to Rutherfordton officials, White Oak paid approximately $2 million for sewer lines, which the town required prior to construction of the lines. Polk County required White Oak to pay half of the total prior to construction of the water line. The remaining half was originally set to be paid by Aug. 31, 2009. White Oak also owes Polk County $38,559 for its 2010 taxes. White Oak is a proposed subdivision and golf course on approximately 1,000 acres in the Green Creek Township with initial plans for nature trails, a golf course/clubhouse, a vineyard, an equestrian center, a lake with fishing areas and tennis facilities, among other amenities. White Oak is not the only subdivision with pending lawsuits currently. Chocolate Drop, located in Columbus, also faces several lawsuits filed by property owners who claim they were sold land that is not suitable for development.

Landrum officials head to Columbia to sort out questions on city’s recently passed alcohol referendum by Samantha Hurst
to make sure that restaurants only would be the ones allowed to use Sunday sales, not other businesses.” Making the trip to Columbia will be Wolochowicz, Mayor Robert Briggs, the city attorney and possibly state representative Doug Brannon. Wolochowicz said they hope a face-to-face meeting will help eliminate any issues that have arisen. This past spring, council members approved an altered
statute for the ballot that said specifically “restaurants,” not “businesses in general,” were allowed to have licenses for on-premise alcohol sales on Sunday. Wolochowicz said because of this change the city may have to provide additional documentation as to what exactly constitutes a restaurant. Several Landrum restaurant owners including Hare and Hound were already prepping to open this Sunday or the next.
Wolochowicz said he hopes leaders can sort out the problems Thursday and not further delay these plans. “I think we lost some time unfortunately because of the holidays, but hopefully we can get back on track,” Wolochowicz said. Wolochowicz originally submitted the necessary paperwork to certify the final vote from the referendum Wednesday, Nov. 16.

National call-in day for elder fraud draws almost 400 calls Almost 400 people called during national call-in day for elder fraud. On Nov. 10, almost 400 people from 33 different states, including North Carolina, took advantage of an opportunity to talk with financial, medical and/or adult protective services representatives in an effort to combat elder financial abuse. Advertised as a National Call-In Day, the day-long program was sponsored by the Investor Protection Trust (IPT) in association with the Investor Protection Institute, the Financial Planning Association (FPA), the National Adult Protective Service Association (NAPSA) and Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine. The call-in program is just one of the national events planned around the Elder Investment Fraud and Financial Exploitation (EIFFE) Prevention Program. EIFFE is a two-year project funded by a grant from the Investor Protection Trust that seeks to raise awareness of financial abuse among the elderly primarily by training physicians and their staff members to be more attentive to the signs of such abuse. Medical professionals are encouraged to incorporate simple questioning into their in-take routines and note the red flags of potential financial abuse during clinical observations of their elderly patients. When abuse is suspected, the
medical professional is trained to make a referral to Adult Protective Services (APS) representatives located within their local county Department of Social Services office. If APS officials suspect investment fraud is involved, then they are to make a referral to the North Carolina Securities Division for review and possible investigation. On National Call-In Day, callers could call one of three special phone numbers. One number was for questions related to personal financial security. This line was staffed by members of the Financial Planning Association and, according to the Investor Protection Trust, received 30 percent of the calls. A second number was reserved for medical questions and was staffed by health care professionals. The IPT reports that it received 23 percent of the calls. The third line was set up for calls concerning elder financial abuse and ways to keep oneself or loved ones from falling victim. This line was staffed by APS representatives and received 47 percent of the calls according to the IPT. The IPT further reports that North Carolina ranked sixth highest out of the 33 states in the number of calls generated. Callers from Florida, Kentucky, Maryland, California and Virginia, respectively, rounded out the top five.

“The house lights go off and the footlights come on. Even the chattiest stop chattering as they wait in darkness for the curtain to rise. In the orchestra pit, the violin bows are poised. The conductor has raised his baton.” “In the silence of a midwinter dusk, there is far off in the deeps of it somewhere a sound so faint that for all you can tell it may be only the sound of the silence itself. You hold your breath to listen. You walk up the steps to the front door. The empty
windows at either side of it tell you nothing, or almost nothing. For a second you catch a whiff of some fragrance that reminds you of a place you’ve never been and a time you have no words for. You are aware of the beating of your heart. “The extraordinary thing that is about to happen is matched only by the extraordinary moment just before it happens. Advent is the name of that moment.” – Frederick Buech(Continued on page 9)

Foundation funds Polk High School farm interns The Polk County Community Foundation funded two interns, Caleb Wilson and Shalyn Brown, this past summer to work at the Polk County High School farm. Both students are active in the Agricultural Education Program at Polk County High School (PCHS). “The internship program provides students with an opportunity to gain work experience and see where the rubber meets the road,” said PCHS Agricultural Education Instructor Chauncey Barber. The students were responsible for caring for and feeding ani-
mals, maintaining the muscadine vineyard and blueberries and maintaining the grounds at the school farm. The two interns gave educational tours for the Cleveland County Boys and Girls Club and local day cares. “I was thankful to receive an internship at the school farm,” Brown said. “[Before last summer,] I was unaware of the daily responsibilities of a farm, and I enjoyed working with the young kids who visited the farm.” - article submitted by Chauncey Barber

O.P. Earle celebrates American Education Week Music, art and drama were the highlights during O.P. Earle Elementary School’s celebration of the 90th anniversary of American Education Week, Nov. 13-19. American Education Week focuses on the nation’s commitment to students and educators. To seek ways to generate public support for education, the week was originated in 1919 by representatives of the National Education Association and American Legion. In 1921, the NEA Representative Assembly in Des Moines, Iowa, designated one week each year to spotlight education. In its resolution, the NEA called for: “An educational week ... observed in all communities annually for the purpose of informing the public of the accomplishments and needs of the public schools and to secure the cooperation and support of the public in meeting those needs.” On Tuesday, Nov. 15, O.P. Earle teachers, staff, students, administrators, community members, retired teachers, parents and members of the school’s PTO, were invited to join studio art students in an unveiling of their forged artwork at the new principal’s patio, a sculpture project entitled “A Tree for All Seasons.” Students have been studying the heritage art form of blacksmithing with artist in residence Bill Crowell of Saluda Forge. The residency was funded by a grant from the Polk County Community Foundation Mary F. Kessler fund. Assisting Crowell was Callie Barnes, a senior at Landrum High School and a former O.P. Earle student, who chose the blacksmithing experience as her senior project at LHS. The principal’s patio is an extension of the principal’s art gallery, which showcases student artwork and pieces from the artist-in-residence program. Led by Allison Allen, the honors chorus students performed musical selections. Af-

terwards, Susan Heimburger’s second grade students gave a “reading concert,” combining poetry and song. Family members joined O.P. Earle students on Wednesday, Nov. 16 for a Thanksgiving luncheon. The cafeteria was decorated with a bounty of student’s writing about things that make them thankful. The school’s Project E.C.H.O. (Everyone reading: Community-HomeOPE) gave away free books to parents and guests. Project E.C.H.O. is one way O.P. Earle places a variety of reading materials in the homes and hands of parents to encourage reading. Project E.C.H.O. provides free gently read materials from donations from teachers and staff. The American Education week celebration ended on Friday with teachers and staff wearing shirts depicting their alma maters or favorite college team. Teachers and students engaged in classroom discussions concerning the importance of education and career choices. “This week has been a wonderful opportunity for our school
to integrate the arts literacy with community involvement,” said O.P. Earle Principal Nita High. “I would like to thank our PTO
who has been a wonderful support throughout the week.” - article submitted by Dawn Lynch
