Fire destroyed a home on Amy Lane in Columbus Tuesday, March 20. The house was fully engulfed in flames shortly after firefighters received the call. Columbus Fire Chief Bobby Arledge said the fire department
received the call around 9 p.m. and because he lives nearby, he was the first to arrive on scene. “When I came out my door you could see the glow in the sky,” Arledge said. “It was so far involved when we got there, there was no way we could save
it. We couldn’t even get close to the door.” Arledge said within the first 6 to 8 minutes after his arrival, the house had fallen in. The house, a wooden A-frame (Continued on page 3)

home located at 260 Amy Lane off Smith Dairy Road, belonged to Colleen Abril. She lived there with her teenage son, Davie, who came home Tuesday evening, found the house on fire and called 911. No one was at home at the time of the fire. The family had seven dogs, all of which got out safely, according to family members. Arledge said firefighters were in defense mode throughout fighting the fire and had to depend on tankers because of the location. The house is located at the end of a one-way drive across a small bridge. Arledge said the department finally got two trucks across the bridge. Tankers had to make trips throughout the evening to the nearest fire hydrant, located almost three miles from the house. The exact cause of the fire was unknown as of press time. The Polk County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the fire, assisted by the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) Fire and Arson Investigative Unit. The Abrils are not suspected of having any involvement in the fire, officials said. The Columbus Fire Department

The Columbus Fire Department was assisted by fire departments from Green Creek, Mill Spring and Tryon, along with the
Polk County EMS, Polk County Rescue Squad, the Polk County American Red Cross and the Polk County Sheriff’s Office. The rescue squad used its ATVs Tuesday night to get workers and supplies to the fire.

Alley resigns as Harmon Field Parks and Rec. Supervisor by Leah Justice
Tryon Town Council on Tuesday, March 20 accepted the resignation of Harmon Field Parks and Recreation Supervisor George Alley. Alley, who was hired in May 2008, held the position almost four years. He recently filed to run for N.C. House of Representatives District 113 seat and was suspended from his employment by the town because of a personnel policy that restricts employees from running as candidates in partisan elections.
• Heritage Days (continued from page 4)
start at 6 p.m. on Saturday. For a small recommended donation, visitors can enjoy a baked potato bar with all the fixings and sides. Soldiers from both the Confederate and the Union armies eat together,
Tryon Town Council initially had on its agenda for March 20 an item to discuss changing the personnel policy, but council removed the item from the agenda after learning of Alley’s resignation. Alley said he felt resigning was the right thing to do at this time. “I felt it was the right decision to move forward,” Alley said. “I’m going to try to go back to school and get an intern this summer, and work on the campaign.” Alley (D) will face the winner of the upcoming Republican primary between Trudi Walend, who
was appointed to the seat last year, and Chris Whitmire. The District 113 seat represents Polk, Henderson and Transylvania counties. If Alley hadn’t resigned, under the current personnel policy, Alley would have remained suspended until the election. The town’s public works director would have assumed his duties during the suspension. Tryon Town Council plans to discuss the position during a budget workshop scheduled for this Saturday, March 24 beginning at 9 a.m. at the Tryon Fire Department.

out the day. The Harmon Field Civil War Museum and the Harmon Field Museum, featured in previous years, will not be open this year. Harmon Field Heritage Days is offered free to students and the public thanks to a general grant from the Harmon Foundation and

At the AAUW meeting on Monday, March 26 at 1:30 p.m., Lisa Alther will discuss her latest book, “Washed in the Blood,” a multigenerational fictional history of a family that would probably have been labeled “Melungeons” in the 19th century. The Melungeons have been the focus of anthropologists, social scientists and feature writers for magazines and newspapers for more than a century. They have been described as a group of tri-racial, mixed ethnicity people who, it is speculated, may have come to America before the English. They settled primarily in the southeastern Appalachians and along the Atlantic seaboard. Their mixed ancestry caused them to be left out of English history books and they were not widely accepted by the communities in which they lived. Alther’s book, while never

Most people agree with the historical records which state that Jesus of Nazareth lived as an important historical figure. Unlike other writings of that time, there are still more than 5,000 complete or nearly complete original manuscripts still intact that document the life and times of Jesus. Those documents refer to the events before and after His death, including statements by people who say they saw Him alive after His crucifixion. Also, there are approximately 300 events in the New Testament concerning Jesus that precisely fulfill the
Old Testament prophesies about the coming Messiah. Many people believe Jesus was a great prophet. Have you ever read for yourself about who He claimed to be? He said, many times in front of many people things like, “I am God; I am the fulfillment of the prophesies about the Messiah; I am the only way to God; I and the Father are one; I am without sin and I can forgive sins.” The scriptures state that when He was on trial, they could find no fault in him except that he blasphemed God by his claims.

Water, water . . . everywhere? I feel like writing some more about water. I have told you about my grandfather T. A. Rippy’s Piney Mountain Spring Water company that supplied the Valley, Harmon Field and Lynn areas. The water was delivered by gravity so there were no pumps involved. It was so pure that no treatment was required, either. I grew up drinking pure water and raw Jersey milk. They taste different from what we drink today. I also wrote in times past about how good water tastes when lifted from a dug well by a bucket. It was also pure and untreated, coming from the underground aquifer. Drinking from a spring is a similar experience . . . the water is pure and its cool temperature is “just right.” My Aunt Georgia’s family farm had a bold spring and her father had built a “spring house” to keep the milk and butter cool. The “house” was there to keep animals out! I never did like the taste of the

with minerals naturally from the earth around it. In admiring photos of the new bridge just completed downstream of Hoover Dam, I noticed that Lake Mead is down about 130 feet. In reading up on that, I find that it is not likely ever to refill completely! That means people are using more water than the river can provide. It also means that the dam cannot generate the power it once did since there is so much less “fall” available. I suppose that southern California is now burning a lot more natural gas to make their electricity. I don’t know what they are doing for water! As I wrote earlier, “some need oil, but all need water.” We may find a substitute for oil, but I understand that all life depends on water and there is no substitute for it. The quest for potable water is becoming futile in some places. Be ye thankful if you have a dependable supply of good water, as many do not, and more will not as world population continues to increase.

muscadine seed affects cancer cells. Decker, who has been a resident of South and North Carolina for the past 18 years, is lately referred to affectionately by friends and family as the “lady with nine lives.” Being devoted to nursing in one way or another most of her 63 years of life, whether it be her family of seven children or in the workplace, she has been actively involved in the community in home health, St. Luke’s Hospital, Autumn Care of Saluda, Habitat for Humanity, therapeutic foster care and her most recent nursing job – caring for her handicapped husband and son. Decker has recently experienced a series of medical problems. In the beginning of October 2011 she suffered a stroke and then underwent a surgical brain procedure. Later that month she was involved in a vehicle accident and ended up in the hospital again with blood clots. Then, on Sunday, March 11, she col-
lapsed, was again hospitalized, then suffered a heart attack during the night. Since having a stent put in, she is “feeling better than she has in a long time,” in her words. Her granddaughter Kezia said, “The way I would describe Pama, she will give and give even when you would think she has nothing left. Those of us who know her well say, absolutely, ‘Giving’ is her middle name. We are thankful she’s still here, keeping us in stitches with her latest escapades, and living out the rest of those nine lives with all she’s got.” Tickets can be purchased at the following locations: Door of Hope Ministry, New For You Re-Use It Shop, Stott’s Ford, Dutch Country Whole Foods and Foothills Amish Furniture. Tickets must be purchased in advance and presented at the door. For further details on the event, call Roger Helmuth at 828-817-0380. – article submitted by Cynthia Helmuth

It will feature the Low Country Boil, with shrimp, sausage, corn on the cob and new red potatoes, as well as coleslaw and homemade dinner rolls served with Amish butter and muscadine jam and a dessert buffet. Another highlight of the evening will be guest speakers Joe Land from Charleston and Frank Zecher from Atlanta, who will share information about the health benefits of the muscadine grape, including scientific research done by a major North Carolina university on how the
