cording to police reports. The charges stem from allegations that Grigg utilized his position as the lodge’s treasurer to illegally acquire and use the funds. Grigg is accused of taking money from the lodge over a span of time from 2006 through 2012, police reports said. Members of the lodge, located across the street from the Polk County courthouse, noticed suspicious activity in March. The Columbus Police Department began its investigation on April 5, according to the police department. The masonic lodge hired retired N.C. State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) CPA R. Lawrence Young to assist in the investigation. “The Masonic lodge was very helpful and gave us everything 110218 - page 2

Grigg is being held at the Polk County Jail under a $20,000 secured bond. His first court appearance was scheduled for yesterday, Thursday, June 21.

He said right now Saluda is booming, but six years ago you could “write your own ticket” in downtown Saluda, and it was the same in Landrum.

Polk is little piece of heaven

To the Editor: My wife, Aine, and I, new arrivals in Columbus, are finding North Carolina living a blessing compared to our former home in hot, dry San Antonio, Texas. North Carolina is like a little piece of heaven. It’s just beautiful and everyone here is so friendly. Never a day goes by that we don’t have an outing or social event to attend. I have to make sure Aine restrains herself before she joins every organization between here and South Carolina. I’m pretty busy at home but plan to go more fully into nature photography soon. Aine (Anya) McGarityLove holds a bachelor of arts degree from Houston Baptist University, a master of arts

from the University of Texas at San Antonio, and a master of education from the University of Houston. A former school counselor, Aine retired this year hoping to finally have more time to devote to her art. As a current art student of Richard Baker, Aine is busy and happy in Polk County. Aine paints landscapes, seascapes, enjoys nature photography and dabbles in painted crafts. – Skip Love, Columbus

Polk library dedicates statue in local author Braun’s honor by Barbara Tilly

Friends of the late local author Lilian Jackson Braun and fans of her “The Cat Who…” mystery series braved an unexpected summer downpour to attend a dedication of a statue in Braun’s honor at the Polk County Public Library on Wednesday, June 20. The event was planned to take place in front of the library beside the statue, but it was moved inside because of the weather. Braun’s husband, Earl Bettinger, who attended the event, commissioned sculptor Mayo Mac Boggs to make the statue. An artistic interpretation of Koko and Yum Yum, the cats in “The Cat Who…” mysteries, the statue is a duplicate of one Bettinger and Braun have had for years at their home. Bettinger donated the sculpture to the library in honor of Braun’s love of libraries in general and Polk County’s library in particular. It was installed in late winter, but the dedication was planned for June 20 because that date would have been Braun’s 99th birthday, and because organizers hoped for good weather. Attendees enjoyed refresh-

In one of those interviews she shared her recipe for the pork liver cupcakes that are mentioned in the books, which included pork livers, wheat germ, salad oil and rolled oats. “‘They are much more appealing to cats than humans,’” Terwilliger quoted Braun as saying in the interview. “‘Whenever I make them, I open all the windows.’” Wanda May, former owner of the Book Shelf in Tryon and Braun’s longtime neighbor, also spoke at the dedication. She said (Continued on page 12)

Never stick a cell phone in your Levi’s while mowing in the rain You would think Apple would have a bush hog clause, at least for Carolinians. Seriously. Last weekend, because I am an obsessive-compulsive when it comes down to the symmetry of the fields, I simply could not bear that the larger field, which lies on one side of our drive, was freshly mown and immaculate while the smaller field, lying directly opposite, was knee deep in fescue, with shoots of wild cherry trees popping up, along with assorted brambles. Our tractor had needed a new radiator and so we were behind in our mowing by a good two weeks. Repaired and ready to go, Sunday was the only day in the foreseeable future where I would have the time to tackle the task. The only problem was, I noted, leaving church, it was beginning to rain. Well, who cares? I thought. Did the pioneer or slave women let a little rain stop them when they were plowing behind a team of oxen, baby on their hips, hands gnarled and rough from the reins? Heck no, they got on with the job in hand. And so would I! Donning my broad brimmed

And then, within minutes, it down and actually saw the empty seat of my saddle before seeing poured.

Patricia was asking all the right questions and Dugan was a perfect gentleman while she loved up Buck. I got to love up Dugan a bit too, which I enjoyed, I love labs. Dugan went over to test out the pool and a short while later Buck did the same. Josh said, “that’s the first time he’s done that.” All of a sudden Dugan took off in a joyful run around the large play area with Buck trailing, trying to keep up. “He’ll never catch him,” Patricia said, “Dugan runs like the wind.” Seeing Buck run flat out like that nearly made me cry with joy. “Give him time,” I answered, “he’s still only working with three sound legs.” Patricia, who was also caught up in the moment, smiled, “I suppose so.” Josh, Patricia and I all agreed that we would let Buck remain at Dogwood Farms during Dugan’s 2 ½ week stay to become playmates and even potential kennel mates.

Ford conquers Assault on Mt. Mitchell with family support by Joey Millwood

Debbie Ford got a Christmas present in 2010 that added a new dimension to her life. Ford is a stay-at-home mom, who before last Christmas, didn’t exercise all that much. Santa, however, left her a bicycle under the Christmas tree and she immediately set a lofty goal. It became her intention to ride that bike on the Assault on Mt. Mitchell. “My three brothers did it last year,” Ford said. “They inspired me to get up and start moving.” Her brothers – Curtis, Davey and Jonathan Rowe – all competed in the event. She also enlisted some of her friends to attempt the goal with her. Those friends, Sarah Hendrix, Michael Owens and Tony Ledbetter, all completed the Assault this year as well. A little over a year later, Ford not only attempted the feat, but accomplished it. The 33-year-old finished the race in just under nine hours. The Saluda resident began riding everywhere once she got the bike. She sought out hills and long distance rides during the summer. In the winter, she took spinning classes and did everything necessary to prepare herself. “As I got father into it, I knew

I was going to make it to the top,” she said. “It was definitely the hardest thing I’ve ever done. All the hours of training definitely paid off.” Her three brothers pushed her through the process, but Curtis Rowe might have been the instigator of all the activity. Rowe has run five marathons and three ultra marathons. With that on his resume, he

will still admit that the Assault is a daunting task. “It’s super tough,” he said. “You’re cranking, cranking the whole time. It’s much harder than a marathon in my opinion.” Rowe said he never doubted his sister. “She kept asking if she could do it,” he said. “I knew she could do it. She’s really headstrong. I knew she’d keep pushing.”

And what was it like when Ford finally crossed the finish line? “As soon as I crossed the finish line, I burst into tears,” she said. “It was emotional.” In a year’s time, Ford went from no exercise to riding in one of the toughest cycling events in the southeast and now she’s addicted. “I love it,” she said. “I’m so glad I discovered it. I’m definitely going to keep it up.”

Seth Vining Basketball Camp at Polk County High School June 26 -28 The annual Seth Vining Basketball Camp will take place June 26-28 at the Polk County High School gym. Kids entering first through fifth grade will attend the camp from 9 a.m. – noon, while sixth through ninth graders will participate from 1-4 p.m.

Campers in all levels will focus on fundamentals such as dribbling, shooting and passing. Polk County High School Varsity Coach Josh McEntire said kids would be given several practice drills to work on at home. “Its huge when they are younger to learn things they can

work on at home,” McEntire said. “During the summer, that’s when basketball players are made – just about every basketball coach will tell you that. They can work on their individual games during the summer when during the year it’s more about the team game.”

Discounts will be given for each additional child from a single family that signs up for the camp. Signups will begin at 8 a.m. Tuesday morning, June 26. Call Josh McEntire for more information at 828-699-8159. – article submitted

Landrum Council approves Foothills Quilt Trail logo After the Landrum City Council officially approved development of the Foothills Quilt Trail at its February 2012 meeting, the next step was to create a logo. The trail’s logo, inspired by the quilt block Moon Over the Mountain, captures the summer beauty of the foothills with its myriad of greens under a bright blue sky. Internationally-recognized quilter Georgia Bonesteel made the Moon Over the Mountain design a favorite with quilters during the quilting revival of the late 70s. Bonesteel remains a member of the Landrum Quilters, which she co-founded in 1980,

known then as the Landrum Library Quilt Club. Graphic designer Wanda Wofford created the logo in collaboration with a team from the Landrum Quilters. The Landrum City Council provided funding for the Foothills Quilt Trail logo and for a website, which is under

construction. Landrum Quilters meet on the second Thursday at 9:30 a.m. at the Gowensville Community Center and on the fourth Monday for a bee, same time and place. – article submitted by Ellen Henderson

Polk sheriff offers tips for fireworks, pool safety during July 4th weekend With July 4th approaching, Polk County Sheriff Donald J. Hill asks all citizens to join him in making this Fourth of July holiday happy, enjoyable and safe for everyone. Polk County citizens should remember that fireworks, as enjoyable as they are to watch, can be dangerous and should only be handled by professionals. According to the U.S. Consumer Product and Safety Commission, nearly 9,000 emergency room-treated injuries are associated with fireworks a year. Sheriff Hill recommends everyone follow these safety tips: • Never give fireworks to small children, and always follow the instructions on the packaging. • Keep a supply of water close by as a precaution. • Make sure the person lighting fireworks always wears eye protection. • Light only one firework at a time and never attempt to relight “a dud.” • Store fireworks in a cool, dry place away from children and pets. • Never throw or point a firework toward people, animals, vehicles, structures or flammable materials. • Stay at least 500 feet away from professional fireworks displays. • Leave any area immediately where untrained amateurs are using fireworks. Hill also wants citizens to use caution when swimming at a pool. He said, “Sadly, most deaths from drowning occur within a few feet of safety.” The best thing anyone can do to stay safe in and around the water is to learn to swim, Hill said. The Polk County Recreation Department offers swimming lessons for people of any age and swimming ability at Gibson Park Pool. To find out when lessons are offered, please call 828-8942646. Pool hours are noon – 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 1-5

p.m. on Sunday. A family night swim is also offered 7-8 p.m. on Wednesday nights and a morning lap swim from 8-9 a.m. Tuesday through Friday. Lifeguards are on duty at all times. Hill offers the following tips for safety at a swimming pool: • If no lifeguard is on duty, do not let children swim unless they are accompanied by a responsible adult who knows lifesaving techniques and first aid. • In the pool area, post CPR instructions and directions to call 911 or your local emergency number. • Look around the pool area to be certain lifesaving devices are readily available for emergency use. • Be sure covers are installed on all drains of a swimming pool or in a wading pool. The suction created by the pool’s circulating pumps can be dangerous unless it is reduced by covers. • Take frequent breaks (about once an hour) where everyone gets out of the water, drinks water, reapplies sunscreen (SPF 15 or higher) and rests. • If a child is missing, check the pool first. Go to the edge of the pool and scan the entire pool, bottom and surface, as well as the surrounding pool area. • To reduce the risk of eye, ear, nose or throat infection from contaminated water, swim only in pools in which water quality is properly maintained. The water should appear crystal clear, be continuously circulated and be maintained at a level that allows free overflow into the gutter or skimmer. There should not be a strong odor of ammonia or chlorine. Sheriff Hill said, “Following these precautions will help the children and citizens of Polk County stay safe and healthy this holiday weekend and throughout the summer.” - article submitted by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office

Dear Savvy Senior, I need some help understanding my medical bills from my knee replacement surgery earlier this year. My wife and I live on a pretty tight budget so I like to keep track of our costs as closely as possible. But the bills I’ve received are vague and confusing, and we think we’re being overcharged. What can you tell us? Trying To Recover Dear Trying, Errors and overcharging have become so commonplace on medical bills today that doublechecking them is a very smart move that may save you some money. Here are some tips and tools that can help. Challenge your bills According to the Medical Billing Advocates of America, nine out of 10 hospital bills have errors on them, most of which are in the hospital’s favor. Bills from doctor’s offices and labs have mistakes too, but they tend to be fewer and further apart. To help you get a handle on your medical bills and check for costly errors, the first thing you need to do is request an itemized statement from the hospital or health care providers detailing the charges of the procedures, supplies, tests and services they provided you. They are legally required to provide you with this information. If the statement contains confusing billing codes or abbreviations that you don’t understand, call the billing office for an explanation. You can also look up most medical billing codes online by going to any

Savvy Senior online search engine and typing in “CPT” followed by the code number. Once you receive and decode the statement, review it carefully and keep your eyes peeled for these mistakes: • Double billing: Being charged twice for the same services, drugs, or supplies. • Typos: Incorrect billing codes or dollar amounts. • Canceled work: Charging for a test your doctor ordered, then canceled. • Phantom services: Being charged for services, test or treatments that were never received. • Up-coding: Inflated charges for medications and supplies. • Incorrect length of stay: Most hospitals will charge for the admission day, but not for day of discharge. Be sure you’re not paying for both. • Incorrect room charges: Being charged for a private room, even if you stayed in a semiprivate room. • Inflated operating room fees: Being billed for more time than was actually used. Compare the charge with your anesthesiologist’s records. To make sure the charges on your bill are reasonably priced, use the Healthcare Blue Book at healthcarebluebook.com. This is a free resource that lets you look up the going rate of health care costs in your area. If you find errors or have questions about charges, contact your provider’s billing office

and your insurer. If they don’t help you and the discrepancies are significant, you should consider getting help from a trained professional who specializes in analyzing medical bills and negotiates with health care providers, insurers and even collection agencies. Most medical bill reviewing professionals charge an hourly fee – somewhere between $50 and $200 per hour – for their services, or they may work on a contingency basis, earning a commission of 25 percent to 35 percent of the amount they save you. To find help, check out resources like Medical Billing Advocates of America (billadvocates.com), MedReview Solutions (medreviewsolutions. com), Hospital Bill Review (hospitalbillreview.com) and Medical Cost Advocate (medicalcostadvocate.com). You can find others by doing an Internet search under “hospital bill review.” If you’re a Medicare beneficiary, another resource that may help is your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP). They provide free personalized counseling and may be able to help you get a handle on your medical bills and Medicare coverage. To find a local SHIP counselor visit shiptalk.org, or call 800-677-1116. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

Barone ordained as priest from Bishop of Charlotte Jason Barone, who has been a seminarian for six years in Baltimore, Md., has come to St. John the Baptist Church in Tryon on his vacations and school breaks. Barone recently received the sacrament of holy orders as a priest from the Bishop of the Archdiocese of Charlotte. “My experience here at St. John’s in Tryon has been so wonderfully beneficial and enjoyable. Fr. Winslow has taught me so much in the organization and running of the parish. The parishioners here have made me feel like it’s home whenever I have come here.” Barone said he particularly enjoyed the study of Latin and the sacred liturgy of the church in his studies to be a priest. He also made a three-week trip to the Holy Land this past January. The formation of being a seminarian has prepared him in countless ways for becoming a parish priest, Barone said. “On a human level, the seminary prepares one to be a public person – available and approachable, like Christ,” Barone said. “Spiritually, it prepares you to become a spiritual leader, and academically it prepares one to teach the truths of the faith. Pastorally it has prepared one to apply the knowledge gained to real life situations the pastor deals with daily.” Barone said he feels today’s values and culture have affected the morals and ethics of the fam-
