Landrum’s Police Chief Bruce Shelnut announced late last week that he would retire after 27 years in law enforcement. “There are some things I want to do that I can’t do and work,” Shelnut said. “I’ll miss the people of Landrum and my guys, but I wanted to retire while my health is still good and I can enjoy it.” Shelnut, who celebrated his 65th birthday two weeks ago, said he hopes to spend more time with his grandchildren in particular. He’ll officially leave his post March 30. Shelnut’s career in law enforcement started almost three decades ago with the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office. (Continued on page 6)

Future Polk water lines estimated at $5.6M Water plant estimated at additional $5M by Leah Justice
Polk County commissioners now have a clear picture of how much it will cost to connect the area’s water systems. Polk County Engineer Dave Odom presented cost estimates to county commissioners Monday,
March 5 including running lines from Green Creek to Polk Central School, from Polk Central to Hwy. 108, from Hwy. 108 to a storage tank, from the storage tank to the planned water treatment plant and from the water plant to Sunny View School. The estimates for water lines and a 250,000-gallon storage tank totaled $5,688,203, including contingency and engineering fees. Odom said constructing a
water plant capable of handling two million gallons per day is estimated to cost an additional $5 million. The most costly water line project is estimated to be running lines from the storage tank to the water plant at $2,080,108. Running water lines from Hwy. 108 to the storage tank and constructing the storage tank is (Continued on page 4)

‘Comedy spectacular,’ African storytelling at Super Saturday Billy Bob Steinberg will bring his one-man show to Super Saturday, March 17, at the Tryon Movie Theatre at 10:45 a.m. or 2:30 p.m. One critic said of Steinberg’s show, “You’ll laugh so hard, your face will hurt!” Building on his checkered background as a stand-up comic, circus performer and all sorts of things in between, Billy Bob is just your everyday banjo playing, juggling, hand-shadow impression, singing animals, bicycle playing, magician comedy act. Simultaneously intelligent and wacky, Billy Bob’s full-speedahead act has been called “total off-the-wall, roll-in-the-aisles fun.” Also on stage at Super Saturday will be Queen Nur, a nationally celebrated master storyteller and weaver of magic in words and song. Dressed in multicolored African costume, accompanied
Queen Nur

by international jazz percussionist Dwight James, she will present her “Sweet Potato Pie & Such” program at the Congregational Church at 10:45 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Steeped in rhythm and in-
fused with audience participation, her program is full of energy and grounded in tradition. The Super Saturday box office will be open Thursday and Friday, March 15 and 16, from
10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and on Super Saturday itself at the Tryon Fine Arts Center. For more information call 828-859-8322, ext. 301. – article submitted by Connie Clark

• Water line costs (continued from page 1)
estimated to cost $1,219,914, with lines from Peniel Road to Polk Central Elementary estimated at $1,024,947, lines from the water plant to Sunny View Elementary estimated at $818,996 and lines from Polk Central Elementary to Hwy. 108 estimated at $544,238. Odom said the most logical stages for the project are for Phase I to include connecting the water line at Peniel Road on Hwy. 9 to Polk Central Elementary and for phase II to include connecting Polk Central Elementary to Hwy. 108, then constructing a water storage tank. The water storage tank itself is estimated at $625,000. The specific property for the water tank has not yet been selected, but Odom suggested it be located on Silver Creek Road to achieve the needed 1,300 elevation. The next phase would be to extend lines north from the Mill Spring crossroads to the future treatment plant with a 24-inch water line, and the final phase would be to connect the water plant to Sunny View School along Hwy. 9. Commissioners in the past have said the water plant needs to be located on county-owned property near the transfer station off Hwy. 9 in Mill Spring. Although all commissioners seem in favor of connecting its systems, there is disagreement as to when the lines should be constructed. Commissioner chair Ray Gasperson, vice-chair RenÊe McDermott and Cindy Walker approved paying off the senior center loan on March 5, while commissioners Ted Owens and Tom Pack voted against paying off the loan, saying they’d rather spend fund balance money to run water lines. Commissioners held off on running a line to Polk Central Elementary last year after the school board told commissioners they’d rather have an additional $400,000 from the county to continue programs,
mainly the preschool program, that were at risk because of state budget cuts. The school system made repairs to the well at Polk Central in order to be in compliance with state regulations. Polk County Schools Superintendent Bill Miller said the wells at both Sunny View and Polk Central elementary schools currently meet all state standards, with upgrades having been completed over the past two years. When asked if the county should run a water line to Polk Central, Miller said he thinks sometime in the future all the schools need public water, but he also has to have money to keep running the schools. He said the Polk Central well has served the school successfully since the 1960s, but it is also his opinion that well water is not a long-term option for running school systems. Pack asked county manager Ryan Whitson if he has a plan for when the county can begin laying the water lines. Whitson answered that he would need guidance from the board regarding how the board plans to pay for the lines and what are acceptable fund balances to keep. Odom said he has drafted letters that should go out this week to property owners along Hwy. 9 between Peniel Road and Polk Central Elementary asking if they would be interested in becoming water customers. Owens handed Odom a list of 14 names along the route he said have interest in being customers. Citizen comments regarding the future water lines came from Debbie Arceneaux, who said she lives in Mill Spring in an area that will never get the water. “I do not agree with this system,� Arceneaux said. “My taxes will be paying for an enormous system I’ll never be able to use.� Marvin Arledge, however, said Sunny View needs water. “Don’t forget we’re over here,� Arledge said. “I don’t care if you raise taxes; whatever you need to do. What if I wake up one morning and my well’s dry? Come on, guys. Help us just a little bit.�

• Chief Shelnut (continued from page 1)
“I’d always wanted to get into law enforcement since I was young but it didn’t happen at first,” Shelnut said. “Quite truthfully, I stumbled into it when I was out of a job and a buddy of mine was in law enforcement. He encouraged me to seek out a job with the sheriff’s office and I did.” Shelnut said Spartanburg County Sheriff Larry Smith gave him his first job. “I had the intention of just staying in it until I found another job, but it got in my blood and I’ve stayed with it,” Shelnut said. Shelnut left Spartanburg County and came to Landrum as sergeant in 1992, eventually being promoted to lieutenant. In 1996, Shelnut left Landrum and went to Chesnee as chief. In 1998, he again came back to Landrum as captain and was promoted to chief of the Landrum Police Department in 2002. Shelnut has remained in that position for the last nine years.

Jim Jackson - Daniel Dworkin “It’s an occupation that has so much excitement to it - the up and down with your adrenaline flow and not knowing what you are going to face day to day,” Shelnut said. “Once a guy gets in and stays a few years, he’s usually in it for the rest of his life.” While serving in Landrum over the last decade, Shelnut said the department has worked some big cases, including a murder in which a father killed his son and another that was a murdersuicide. Shelnut said Landrum also solved three bank robbery cases in that time. Mayor Robert Briggs said the town appreciates the years of service Shelnut has put into keeping the town safe. “He’s been a great chief and a good friend,” Briggs said. “I knew it was going to happen at some point and time but it snuck up on me. So we’re going to miss him.” Briggs said the city administrator will recommend someone for the position to the council, who will then either approve the appointment or begin the interviewing process.

Friendship Council invites pastors to group’s meetings The Thermal Belt Friendship Council invites all pastors concerned about social justice, racial healing and community outreach to join the group for frank discussions about inclusion, diversity and bridging the racial divide.  The Thermal Belt Friendship Council is a nonprofit organization with the mission of embracing diversity within the community. The overall goal is to bring individuals of different races, ethnicity, cultures and beliefs together to have honest dialogue about race relations. The Friendship Council meets every second Tuesday of the month at Roseland Community Center, located at the intersection of East Howard and Peake streets in Tryon. The Friendship Council has been in existence since the late 1980s after the Klan announced it would march in Tryon. Black and white citizens came together to identify ways to protest the planned march. The strategy created was simply not to feed into the hate by abandoning the streets. The Klan did march, but
the streets and sidewalks remained empty.  Early meetings had much support from the faith-based community; however, in recent years, fewer ministers and pastors have attended meetings and events. Joseph L. Fox, president of the Friendship Council, said the group would like to encourage ministers and pastors to return and continue the struggles of breaking down walls of separation among the races.   “Each year we sponsor the annual Martin Luther King Jr. celebration at the Tryon Fine Arts Center,� Fox said. “Looking out at the crowd of diverse individuals is a glorious feeling. That feeling quickly fades away when monthly meetings pick back up, and we see that we are missing many of the attendees that were present at the celebration.� There is no membership fee and no requirement to attend every event. “We just ask that you be willing to work for social justice and equality,� Fox said. – article submitted by Joseph L. Fox, Friendship Council president

Landrum Cardinals soccer wins in sudden death overtime Sports by Joey Millwood
Landrum’s Mick Prather defends against a Brashier Middle College forward on Thursday, March 8. (photo by Joey Millwood)
It’s not often that a soccer match rolls into sudden death overtime, but on March 8 that was the scene in Landrum as the Cardinals hosted Brashier Middle College. The top Landrum strikers had gotten the Cardinals passed the first round of penalty kicks. It was up to a different group now. At midfield, one of those strikers stood ready. After a Will Brown score and a subsequent Brashier Middle College score, Mick Prather strolled up to the ball and sent a shot passed the goalie into the right corner of the net. That would be the game winner as the Cardinals rushed the field (Continued on page 9)

in celebration. “It was just great to win it for us,” Prather said. On the other side of the ball, the pressure was on Cardinal goalie Graham McClellan. Before the season started, McClellan told head coach Josh Fowler that he hoped that a game never came down to penalty kicks. Although McClellan was a senior, this is his first year in the net for the Cardinals. This is his first year playing soccer for the Cardinals at all. As for the penalty kicks, his wish didn’t come true. The “rookie” had to deal with penalty kicks en route to a dramatic overtime victory for the Cardinals over Brashier Middle College. The Cardinals led 2-0 at the half on goals by Kaleb Gunther and Jon Perry, but the Bengals evened it up in the second half. Brashiers got goals from Seth Howell and Jaedon Williamson to send the match into overtime. Neither team scored in the first or second overtime, which opened the door for McClellan to get his first experience with overtime penalty kicks. On Tuesday, the Cardinals and Woodruff went into two overtimes, but a late score by the Wolverines ended the match just before penalty kicks. “That was rough,” McClellan said. “I took that to heart.”
Tryon Daily Bulletin / The World’s Smallest Daily Newspaper
The first round of penalty kicks left the Bengals and Cardinals in a tie. Not only was McClellan dealing with penalty kicks, it now came down to sudden death penalty kicks. When one team missed and the other made it, the game was over. Prather’s shot proved to be the winner after a Bengal miss. For Fowler, this match showed the heart of his team. The Cardinals were coming off the double-overtime loss to Woodruff on Tuesday and a 3-0 shutout victory over Southside on Wednesday. This game was the cap of a three-game stretch that left his team spent. “We were running on empty,” Fowler said. “It took a lot of guts and energy to pull this one out. This team has a lot of heart and soul.” GIRLS Brashiers 9, Landrum 1 Brashiers jumped on Landrum from the start. Alex Leopold scored a goal 30 seconds in and the Lady Bengals didn’t look back en route to a 9-1 victory. Sierra Singh led the charge with three goals.

St. Luke’s Hospital installs new boiler Brook Campbell, Glen Smith, Keith White and Lane Blackwell of the St. Luke’s Hospital Engineering Department stand beside the new boiler recently installed at the hospital. Hospital officials said the new energy efficient boiler will save approximately 15 percent to 20 percent in fuel costs. The boiler provides all heat for patient rooms and replaces the previous boiler that was more than 30 years old. “Replacing this old boiler system will achieve energy savings, increase efficiency and reduce both operating costs and emissions,” said Keith White, engineering department. “We’ve been babying that old boiler for a long time, and I think our staff has done a great job to keep it operating for all these years!” (photo submitted by Jennifer Wilson)
St. Luke’s Hospital installs MRSA Analyzer due to PCCF grant Reducing hospital-acquired infections is a top priority for all medical providers. To better protect the community, St. Luke’s Hospital has installed a lab analyzer that quickly detects if patients are carrying the staph bacteria known as MRSA, which stands for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus. Thanks to a grant provided by the Polk County Community Foundation, St. Luke’s Hospital recently purchased a LightCycler 2.0 MRSA Analyzer. “A ‘Super Bug’ that defies the usual course of antibiotic treatment, MRSA is a type of staph bacteria that is resistant to certain antibiotics including methicillin and other more common antibiotics such as oxacillin, penicillin and amoxicillin,” explains Lori Rothell, RN, infection preventionist at St. Luke’s Hospital. “In the community, most MRSA infections are skin infections; however, more severe or potentially life-
threatening MRSA infections occur most frequently among patients in healthcare settings. Since people can carry the organism/bacteria with no clinical signs or symptoms of infection, a MRSA analyzer will enable St. Luke’s Hospital to quickly detect if patients are carrying the bacteria within hours of their admission to the hospital.” Tests for MRSA that once took St. Luke’s Hospital about 48 hours to perform will now take between two and 24 hours. This early detection will improve the hospital’s patient care, reduce the attending physician’s wait time and increase the safety of hospital visitors and staff. Made by Roche Laboratories, the LightCycler will allow St. Luke’s to monitor potential MRSA within “at risk” populations, including groups such as nursing home residents and those who have had a recent hospital admission or (Continued on page 11)

Quicker analysis will help to reassure family members and friends of their safety and decrease the possible exposure of visitors, other St. Luke’s patients, or our staff to MRSA,” Rothell said. “Reducing the length of time that our patients are on isolation precautions unnecessarily will better serve our patients and also result in reduced labor and supply costs.” - article submitted by Jennifer Wilson

The test is designed to aid in the prevention and control of MRSA infections in healthcare settings. It will be performed on patients suspected of possible colonization, using patented real-time technology. “Earlier detection will reduce the use of isolation precautions in unwarranted cases and, when posi-

Upstairs Artspace welcomes 100 Spartanburg artists What small southern city can boast of 100 visual artists of exceptional merit? The Upstairs Artspace answers the question with its new exhibit, “Artists Among Us: 100 Faces of Art in Spartanburg.” The purpose of the blockbuster show is to pay tribute to the concentration of fine artists living and working today in Spartanburg County. Exhibition dates are March 16 through April 28. A public reception to meet the artists is Saturday, March 17, 5 to 8 p.m. where light refreshments will be served. The three galleries of the Upstairs will be filled with two- and three-dimensional work by each of the 100 artists. The range of art includes painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, mixed media, sculpture, turned wood, and ceramic and fiber art. About half of the artists have exhibited before at the Upstairs; about half are showing in Tryon for the first time. “We want to familiarize our audience – especially people from Tryon to Asheville – with the great artistic talent
in Spartanburg,” said Margaret Curtis, exhibits committee chair. She adds that the Upstairs has only mounted one other exhibit of such magnitude in its 34-year history. The inspiration behind “Artists Among Us” is a coffee table book of the same title, published last November by Hub City Press. The book is the collaboration of Edward Emory, writer and editor, and Stephen Stinson, photographer. Emory, who owns and operates Carolina Gallery in downtown Spartanburg with his wife, Shannon, selected the 100 artists. His three criteria were an artist’s individual skill, professional achievement and contribution to helping make Spartanburg an arts destination. The book will be for sale at the opening reception; artists can sign individual books on request. Emory will give a program, “Spartanburg Spells ART!,” on Tuesday, March 27, 7 p.m. A historian and civic visionary, he’ll talk informally about Spartanburg’s rich cultural history and future plans to develop the Upstate and
