ness. Since the incident, Edgens said the department has been working hard to identify suspects in efforts to make an arrest. “We had a pretty busy week this first week – I had a lot of big things going,” Edgens said. “In my first hour we got hit with that [Landrum businesswoman assaulted].” Edgens began working for the Landrum Police Department as a lieutenant in 2005 under Shelnut. Prior to coming to Landrum he spent six years as a police officer or reserve officer in Spartanburg County. For two years before that he worked as a dispatcher for Spartanburg 911. Edgens said he is one of those people who dreamt of being a member of law enforcement even as a child. “It’s all I’ve ever honestly wanted to do, and the guys I

The 39 executive committee members include precinct chairs, officers elected every other year at the county convention and elected Democratic officials. “The purpose of the convention is to conduct business such as electing officers, committee members and delegates to the district and state conventions,” she said. “This year, local Democrats are excitedly making plans to participate in the Democratic National Convention that will take place in Charlotte on Sept 3-6.” Convention attendees will get a chance to hear from candidates running for local offices such as the board of commissioners, as well as two local candidates running for the N.C.

The forum set for April 19, meanwhile, will be focused strictly on helping voters get to know candidates running in the May 8 Democratic primary. “We think voters will appreciate the opportunity to meet candidates

Edgens’ mother, Brenda Forester, said she was proud beyond belief of her son. “Tell her what you told me when you found out,” Forester said to her son. “He called me and said, ‘Mom, I’ve been working for this all my life.’” Edgens said he is also working to make sure his department is provided with the right people in the right positions and the right equipment. Some of his first orders of business were to promote Jason Coffin from sergeant to lieutenant and Greg Irwin to sergeant. Edgens is also working with Landrum City Administrator Steve Wolochowicz and the Landrum City Council to finalize the purchase of a new police car, as almost all of the fleet is currently running on more than 100,000 miles.

because we think voters are paying heightened attention this election season,” Johnson said. The event will consist of a meet and greet with candidates at 6:30 p.m. and a question-and-answer session following. Candidates expected to participate in the event include Emily Bartlett, Ernie Giannini, Richie Greene, Renee McDermott, Rickie McFalls and Russell Mierop, all running for county commission. Moderator Dr. Faith Weathington encourages voters to bring written questions about issues pertinent to Polk County to ask of all candidates. Each candidate will be asked to give opening and closing remarks, and the same questions will be asked of all candidates.

Democratic BOC candidates answer Bulletin questions 1. Why are you running for ernment. I believe that senior Polk County Board of Commissioners?
Emily Bartlett I am running for Polk County Commissioner to assure that the needs of families and retirees who are struggling in this changing economy are addressed. Ernie Giannini I believe as John Dewey in 1897 said, “Education is the fundamental method of social progress and reform” and that in small easy ways we can change the fortunes of our children to result in them becoming better informed dedicated and involved adults. I believe that all citizens should expect good representation from the elected officials, have easy access to those officials and expect them to create a cooperative trustworthy gov-
citizens have the right to a life of dignity and comfort without daily worry. 2. What is your overall vision for Polk County? Emily Bartlett My vision for the county is to build on the work of past boards of commissioners to improve the quality of life for all citizens, focusing on underserved areas of the county with water and sewer treatment, job training opportunities, recreational facilities, quality daycare, transportation and access to healthcare. Ernie Giannini My overall vision for Polk County is to help create a long range prioritized plan that includes: 1. A high quality school system 2. A long-range controlled
and planned growth program 3. An efficient revenue producing water system 4. A program to support and enhance local agriculture 6. A senior citizen plan that includes respite service to caregivers, home and community based services and senior center programs that promote senior independence and health and finally 7. A safe environment for all citizens 3. What do you think the county’s financial priorities should be? Emily Bartlett I think the county’s financial priorities should be to focus on sustainable projects that meet the needs of the people with little or no financial impact on taxpayers, while retiring debt where possible.
Ernie Giannini Maintain an adequate fund balance. Be prudent in our fiduciary responsibilities. Creating a controlled residential and business growth that is necessary, produces jobs and creates revenue. Planning a water system that is designed and built to fulfill the needs of revenue producing customers, residential and businesses and fulfills the needs of realistic future customers.
4. On your list of priorities, where is Polk County’s having its own water system and how soon should all areas of the county be connected? Emily Bartlett Polk County has experienced drought in four out of the last five years. Three years ago my husband and I had to (Continued on page 8)

spend almost $12,000 to replace a dry well. If we had been able to access public water, we most certainly would have. Water treatment and distribution are expensive propositions but fall into the category of proactive, responsible governing. The three townships are supporting water distribution and sewage treatment through a finite group of customers. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that eventually, as infrastructure ages and federal and state regulations continue to be placed on counties at the expense of taxpayers, the inevitable outcome will be tax increases in two out of the three townships. If the burden of keeping those aging systems were to be expanded over a wider client base, then perhaps water rates might remain the same or experience smaller increases. I think it is time to take the politics out of this vital commodity and look towards a water authority, made up of representatives of each township and the larger county. As adjacent counties and in the case of Polk County, an adjacent state, increase in population, a water authority would allow Polk County to leverage state assistance in keeping our water within our county, insuring that future generations have adequate access and resources. Ernie Giannini Water is a priority as it allows proper controlled growth which generates enough revenue to maintain and pays for itself. Growth and proper planning of future growth will initiate the need for water to many areas in the county.
5. What direction do you feel the county should be moving in terms of zoning? Do you think land use regulations should be more strict than they currently are or more lenient. Please explain.
Emily Bartlett Zoning, land use, development ordinances - all names for regulations that each of us thinks should apply only to the other guy. Someone who insists they don’t want zoning will be the first to cry foul when a chainsaw factory (insert the nightmare of your choice here) moves in next door. It is a painful process of directing growth, protecting property values, maintaining quality of life and the esthetics of a community while at the same time creating a means by which citizens can request variances to the rules. It can only work if all citizens are involved in the process. I am in favor of regulation that does not discriminate against business, developers, socially and economically disadvantaged individuals and generational family holdings. The process of seeking a variance is dependent on the subjective opinions of a committee that must represent all citizens. Furthermore, the current committee that is establishing and recommending those same ordinances contains two members of the BOC, and unless both parties are represented, segments of the public could and should feel as if they have had little input into the process. In order for everyone to embrace this self-governance, it must be reasonable and all must be involved. Ernie Giannini At this time the zoning in Polk County is consistent and comprehensive and should be protected. Those areas that are not zoned are in agreement with the citizens of those locations and should be only reviewed occasionally to ascertain if any changes would be helpful or beneficial to those citizens and agreement should be discussed as needed. The U.S. 74 corridor should be protected to prevent overbuilding.

USC Upstate building name approved for Tryon resident, Sansbury Dr. Olin B. Sansbury Jr., who now lives in Tryon, served as director, vice president and finally as chancellor of the University of South Carolina Upstate from 1973 to 1993. Under his supervision, the campus grew from an enrollment of 750 students to approximately 3,000 students, and from offering only associate’s degrees to offering undergraduate degrees in 30 fields of study, as well as graduate programs in education. In recognition of Sansbury’s commitment and dedication to USC Upstate, the University of South Carolina Board of Trustees approved the naming of the campus life center on the USC Upstate campus to honor him. An official naming and dedication ceremony will be held on Tuesday, May 1 at 4:30 p.m. at the Olin B. Sansbury Jr. Campus Life Center. “The Olin B. Sansbury Jr. Campus Life Center will stand
as a testament to a man who contributed greatly to the development of USC Upstate,” said Dr. Tom Moore, chancellor of USC Upstate. “Dr. Sansbury is most deserving of this recognition as he led theuUniversity for a long time and laid a great foundation for its future.” The campus life center is the hub of student life activity. Opened in 1995, it houses dining services, student affairs, counseling services, disability services, student organization offices, student publication offices, several meeting rooms, a computer lab and an automated teller machine. A large ballroom, overlooking the Susan Jacobs Arboretum, is often used for receptions and other events. Sansbury, originally from Darlington, S.C., served as executive director of the Greenville Symphony after retiring from USC Upstate.
Sansbury earned his bachelor’s degree in history from Wofford College and his Ph.D. in international studies from the University of South Carolina. Prior to his work at USC Upstate, Sansbury worked as a newsman and editorial writer for WBTWTV in Florence, S.C., taught government and international studies at USC Florence Regional Campus and Coastal Carolina Campus, served as assistant director for student affairs at USC Florence Regional Campus and served as the first dean of students and taught government and international studies at Francis Marion College. In addition to a career in academics, Sansbury served in the U.S. Army from 1960 to 1963, spending 13 months in Vietnam. In 2009, Sansbury married Mary Ann Medford Claud, the daughter of William and Amelia Medford. The library at USC

The greatest beneficiary of forgiveness is the one who forgives. As a pastor, one of the tragedies I often witness is how a lack of forgiveness ends up destroying the lives and peace of individuals and families. The cause of the initial conflict can be anything from inconsequential to profound, but the hurt or offense that touches the minds and hearts of those involved can cause permanent harm to the spiritual, emotional and mental health of everyone involved if it is not set aside. In the Bible, “to forgive”
has two specific meanings: 1) to cancel or pardon as a debt, and 2) to release from bondage. Both of those meanings can be seen in Jesus’ instruction to his disciples on prayer in Matthew 6:9-14. He tells them to ask God to “forgive us our trespasses [sins, debts], as we forgive those who trespass against us.” It is important to note here that the “as” in this case means “in the same way.” Jesus goes on to say, “For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive others, neither (Continued on page 13)

TLT production of ‘Knock Knock’ - Judgment Day Is this judgment day—or a bad hair day? It’s hard to tell whether Chris Bartol (a.k.a. the Wiseman) keeps order or adds mayhem to the proceedings in Jules Feiffer’s play “Knock Knock.” “Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, the half-truth, for better or worse, for whom the bell tolls, for me and my gal, in sickness, in health…,” he says. Wait a minute! That can’t be right. Frances McCain directs Tryon Little Theater’s production of this wacky show, in which two middle-aged recluses get a visit from Joan of Arc, who’s on a mission
to recruit two of every species to ride a spaceship to heaven. “Knock Knock” runs for two weekends at Tryon Little Theater’s Workshop at 516 South Trade Street in Tryon. Performances are April 19, 20, 21, 26, 27 and 28 at 8 p.m., and Sunday, April 22 and 29 at 3 p.m. The box office is open at the workshop from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Call 828-8592466 to reserve your tickets, or visit www.tltinfo.org for more information. - article submitted by Monica Jones

Pisgah Chapter of Trout Unlimited offers fly-fishing school April 28 The Pisgah Chapter of Trout Unlimited (PCTU) will hold its annual fly-fishing school on
Saturday, April 28 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. at Harmon Field in Tryon.
Students will receive not only a full day of practical instruction from experienced anglers, covering the basics of fly fishing including equipment, casting, line management and stream tactics. They will also get a half-day session of “hands on” learning on one of the area’s trout-rich rivers or streams. The combination of the classroom instruction and on-the-water guided practice makes this one of the most unique and economical fly-fishing schools available in the area. The cost of the school includes lunch, and equipment for the class will also be provided. For more information or to
register for the school, please visit the PCTU website at www. pisgahchaptertu.org. Class size is limited, and early registration is recommended. All proceeds from the school help support Trout Unlimited ‘s educational and environmental programs, dedicated to the conservation, protection and restoration of coldwater fisheries and their watersheds in the Western North Carolina region. The PCTU chapter meets on the second Thursday of the month at the Pardee Health Education Center, Blue Ridge Mall. – article submitted by Linda Byington

2012 Polk County Middle School girls soccer team. (photo submitted)
Polk County Middle School girls soccer on top of game midseason Just past the midway point of the season, the Polk County Middle School girls soccer team sits atop the Blue Ridge Conference with a 6-1 record. The Wolverines have outscored opponents 28-6 with most goals coming from Megan
Clements and Ashley Love. Goalkeeper Malena Roman and tough defenders Caroline Lee, Leah Stockdale, Jess Bentley and Scarlett Mosseller have been stingy as well, recording four shut-outs and two one-goal games.
In the midfield, Rhian Alley, Savannah Ross, Lauren Stratman, Fabiana Rivera and Emma Wagoner have controlled play through hard work and accurate passing. Maggie Sitton, Monica Mills and Hunter Metcalf have filled in all over the field, helping
the team with a consistent effort. The team’s final home game of the season will be held Thursday, April 26 at 4:30 p.m. when the team looks to avenge its only loss so far to Hendersonville. – article submitted by George Alley
Team defense plays major part in Landrum win over Christ Church by Joey Millwood
Landrum’s last two days have been torrid at the plate. The defending region champions have been tearing up the competition with their bats. The Lady Cardinals scored 25 runs on Monday afternoon against Whitmire. On Tuesday, the Lady Cardinals scored 12 more runs en route to a 12-2 victory over Christ Church. It hasn’t all been about the offense, however. Team defense is something that Landrum coach Tucker Hamrick is constantly talking about. The Lady Cardinals
showed flashes last season en route to a region championship, but that part of their game has launched to a whole other level this season. On Tuesday afternoon, team defense played a major role in Landrum’s win over Christ Church. In the first inning, catcher Bre Cuff made turned around to make a diving catch on a difficult foul ball. Right fielder Shelby Morris showed her speed in the fourth inning with a ball that looked like (Continued on page 19)

it might drop. The best defensive game of the night, however, went to first baseman Meagan Painter. Painter had three groundball put outs in the first three innings and in the fourth inning, she made a shoestring catch on a line drive. “She played a great game at first base,” Hamrick said. “She really focuses hard on what she’s got to do.” And the concept of defense isn’t lost on the Lady Cardinals, Painter said. “Defense is just as important as offense,” she said. “I think we all played good on defense tonight.”

The big inning for Landrum, however, was the fourth. The Cardinals scored eight runs in that inning. Landrum sent 13 batters to the plate in the fourth and eight of them scored. Sydnie Brown had an RBI single and Taylor Jenkins had an RBI double. It wasn’t Landrum’s best game, Hamrick said, but his team has grown in its ability to still win big under those circumstances. “They play hard in everything that they do,” he said. The Cardinals (11-3, 10-0) will host Woodruff tonight at 7 p.m. in a non-region matchup.

Pacolet Area Conservancy’s eighth annual Walk/Run set for May 5 The Pacolet Area Conservancy (PAC) will present its eighth annual PACWalk for Conservation on Saturday, May 5 at Tryon Estates in Columbus. Since May of 2005, the PACWalk has become a springtime tradition for many, who enjoy spending a couple of hours outdoors with friends and family in support of conservation. PACWalk can be enjoyed by folks of all ages. To date, the oldest participant was 99 years old and the youngest was in a stroller. Walkers can choose the paved path around the lake, a distance of ¾ mile. This option is called the Sam White Stroll, named for a founder of the Pacolet Area Conservancy and former resident of Tryon Estates. Another choice is a 2-mile trail along the lake and through the woods. If neither of those appeals, you can choose the
Phantom Walk and be part of the event from anywhere. Check-in for PACWalk is from 9 - 9:45 a.m., followed by the walk of your choice at 10 a.m. Also on May 5, the Pacolet Area Conservancy will present its second annual PACRun, a 5K trail run. In its first year, runners said they enjoyed the race because of the beautiful trails through the woods, carefully chosen and marked. The race is timed and medals are awarded for winners in each category. Check-in begins at 7:30 a.m. for the PACRun, and the race starts at 8 a.m. Following the walk, at approximately 11:30 a.m., walkers and runners are invited to lunch and an awards ceremony in the Tryon Estates dining room. Both walkers and runners may register online at www. strictlyrunning.com. Forms

Organizers said Barnett, educated in both art and photography, is a perfect example of the synthesis of garden and art. Long associated with the Cummer Museum of Jacksonville, Fla., she is the author of “A Tale of Two Gardens,” which compares the historic Cummer Gardens in Florida to its founder’s inspiration, the Villa Gamberaia Garden in Tuscany. At 5 p.m. on Sunday, the weekend will end with a reception sponsored by Tryon Federal Bank honoring Barnett, the owners who have opened their homes for Saturday’s tour, participating artists, volunteers and speakers. The event will include a sale of all the artwork. Jean Pettigrew, chair of Sunday’s event, said, “We are antici-
pating more than 50 artists and sculptors, as well as a retrospective by the photographers of the gardens featured during Art in Bloom in 2010. Art will fill all levels of TFAC indoors as well as in Green Corner, Farwell Garden and Sassoon Park.” Proceeds from Art in Bloom will benefit Tryon Fine Arts Center and the ArtScapes project: creating pocket parks in Tryon, Landrum and Columbus.
