The Mill Spring Fire Department also requested a one-cent increase and the Polk County Rescue Squad requested to be given 1/4 of a penny instead of its current 1/3 of a penny distribution, but Gasperson, McDermott and Walker said they are not in favor of granting those requests at this time. The Columbus Fire Department plans to use the extra tax revenue to hire three full-time employees to staff the department 24 hours a day, seven days a week. McDermott said she favored granting Columbus its request because the department has done an audit every year so taxpayers know how the department spends its money. “They all made good presentations,” McDermott said, “but Columbus has had an annual audit forever. I think it’s important whenever you’re asking taxpayers to give additional funding there be audits so taxpayers can be assured the money is being spent properly.” She added she in no way believes the departments not receiving audits are not spending their money properly. She said she simply feels annual audits are needed, especially when asking for additional funding. Owens and Pack said they were in favor of granting all the departments’ requests, but wanted to do so by taking the money from the county’s general fund. “I believe the county should not further burden the taxpayers of Polk County as we have ample revenue to cover the request of all three departments without having to increase anyone’s taxes,” said Pack.
“It’s not right to ask taxpayers in Tryon, Green Creek, Sunny View or Saluda to pay for the funding needs of Mill Spring or Columbus.” -- Renée McDermott

“I believe the county should not further burden the taxpayers of Polk County as we have ample revenue to cover the request of all three departments without having to increase anyone’s taxes.” -- Tom Pack
Pack recommended Monday that the county use fund balance to pay for capital outlay next year and fund the three department’s requests from the general fund. Pack said in the last six years the county’s revenues have exceeded the initially approved budget expenditures by approximately $9,500,000, with commissioners amending the budgets to spend all the excess revenue plus an additional $2,000,000 from the county’s savings during that same time period. “It is a matter of priorities, not a lack of revenue,” said Pack. “I believe we can make the special appropriations for several years before we need to consider raising anyone’s taxes. The total to fund the request of all three departments is around $115,000.” Pack also said that although the Mill Spring Fire Department had not had an audit since 2006, the county’s contract with the Mill Spring Fire Department states the county is responsible for the audit. McDermott said she disagrees with Owens’ and Pack’s suggestion of being able to pay for the requests out of the county’s budget. She said the county has many expensive capital projects in its future. She said each fire district is its own taxing district and that’s a big hint that the state wants them to be self-sufficient. “It’s not right to ask taxpayers in Tryon, Green Creek, Sunny View or Saluda to pay for the funding needs of Mill Spring or Columbus,” McDermott said. “They need to be funded out of their own district.” (Continued on page 5)

WNC Hunter Schooling Circuit comes to Long Shadows The Western North Carolina (WNC) Hunter Schooling Circuit will host a show on June 9 at Long Shadows farm in Campobello. The WNC hunter schooling circuit offers a quality showing opportunity for children beginning their first cross rails classes through adult specialty classes and more advanced riders. The circuit gives out rosettes for first through sixth place along with champion and reserve champion prizes for each division. All judges are paid and highly qualified. The circuit goes to seven different venues, with a year-end banquet awarding high point awards and specialty awards such as most improved. On June 9 the WNC Hunter Schooling Circuit will make its third stop on the schedule at Long Shadows Farm in Campobello. Long Shadows Farm, owned and operated by Michael Atkins, offers full boarding, hay sales and a cross-country course for schooling. Matthew Lawson of
Knoxville, Tenn. will judge. Lawson owns and operates Adamo Equestrian LLC and is a graduate of the St. Andrews University Equestrian team. He has been a regular competitor and trainer in the highest levels of hunter/ jumpers. The idea behind the schooling circuit was to originally provide not only an opportunity to show, but also to work as a cooperative with local farms, venues and camps, to help generate business and equine awareness in the community. The circuit is directed by Denise Blankenship, who spent three years at St. Andrews University in the equestrian program and has throughout the years worked and been involved in various equestrian activities and organizations. For more information contact wncschooling@gmail.com or find the Facebook page. – article submitted by Denise Blankenship

All it takes is a little kindness, a listening ear and the courage to say, “Have you thought about…” Mike and Chris are well on their way to the Big Apple now, but in the right direction simply because a willing helper (in my case someone old enough to be their grandfather) was disposed to point out a better way to follow.

To the editor: The people of Tryon showed so much generosity on Poppy Day. All the money collected goes to veterans – the VA hospital in Asheville, the Wounded Warrior project, the Help Hospitalized Vets and, of course, local veterans. It does distress me that there are too many people who have no interest in giving to veterans – the men and women who have made many sacrifices for them and our country, even giving their lives. Poppy Day is always the Friday before Memorial Day. We, also appreciate the businesses who allow us to distribute the the poppies by their buildings. – Jane Janke, American Legion Auxiliary 250

Workshop on food as medicine at Mill Spring Ag Center June 7 Can you imagine the joy of discovering that some longstanding discomforts and even diseases can be reversed by choices made in the supermarket? Anyone interested in rediscovering home remedies that were common knowledge less than 50 years ago have a chance to do so today. June Ellen Bradley will host a workshop on Thursday, June 7 from 6-8 p.m. at the Mill Spring Ag center that will cover all of the ideas in this article and more. Cascade Anderson-Geller from Portland, Ore., will lead the workshop and will bring an abundance of items from the produce aisle for sampling, and show and tell. Attendees will also be given time for questions after the presentation. Hippocrates, the acclaimed founder of modern medicine centuries ago said: “Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food.” That wisdom holds
true today. In the Bible, there are bitter means it will stimulate the many references such as Ezekiel liver, for example. The vitality of 47:12, which tell us of the healing the plant will depend upon where properties of trees and fruit.

itchy ears, skin problems and general irritability. What could you include in your diet to help? Most people know that cranberry juice is good. So are celery, parsley, ginger and asparagus. Eating these foods and drinking pure fresh water will go a long way to improving your overall health. Remember, the body is naturally self-healing … we simply need to provide the right nourishment to allow the healing to take place. Diet plays a critical role in giving your body what it needs to restore function. There is a good film out on dvd called “forks over knives” detailing several case studies and educating folks that surgery (knives) can be avoided by changing what you eat (forks). It also explains what is in the foods we eat and in drinks too. For more information and registration, visit www.polkcountyfarms.org. – article submitted by June Ellen Bradley

Results of 2012 Tryon Summer Classic Horse Show The 2012 Tryon Summer Classic Horse Show took place May 31 - June 3 at the Foothills Equestrian Nature Center (FENCE). This year’s show again benefited the Tryon Hounds. It featured a $2,500 USHJA National Derby on Friday evening, won by Karen Kelley of Charleston, S.C. and horse Uncle Luc, owned by Laura and Meredith Mateo. It also included a $10,000 Jumper Classic on Saturday, won by Brian Gjetley of Aiken, S.C. and his Piks Pistelero. Lucky One, owned by local Vick Russell and Lilly Hahn Rosichan, took fourth. Fundraising efforts for beloved braider Linda Tinkler of Tryon brought in more than $3,000 during the weekend. This amount included Laura and Meredith Mateo’s generous donation of their winning prize money from the USHJA National Hunter Derby. Sunday included the awarding of the Hoffman Van Wieren tro-

worry about. As you can see, while the very special folks who are willing to foster kittens or kittens with moms make it look easy, it isn’t. We appreciate our kitten fosters more than we can say – and that comes from the bottom of my heart. If you have moms with kittens, and they are outdoors (or have come from outdoors), we can help you trap the mom and keep her and the kittens together in one of our foster homes, or help you foster them yourself. We can supply extra food for mom if needed, and at the end, we will get the kittens their shots and adopt them out, spay mom and return her to you, all free of charge. It is the deal of the century. So, instead of grabbing the kittens and leaving mom, call 828-863-4444 or 828894-2088 and ask for Dana. Big news: Back by popular demand are our shelter dog training classes. Training classes are resuming at the shelter with Deb O’Donnell, one of our truly excellent trainers. Classes will be at different times to accommodate differing schedules. We need volunteers to help train shelter dogs. This helps them get more socialized so they are adopted faster. It is hard to adopt out a dog that does not know how to behave, so this is a critical need. Please call the shelter at 828-8634444 for more information or to sign up. Tell ‘em Champ sent you. Woof, Champ.
