Rising temperatures cause for concern

by Samantha Hurst

If you remained unaware that summer was upon us, this weekend’s temperatures aim to clue you in.

Officials warn this is not the time to be lax in relation to the heat.

“We have a lot of people

who have respiratory or heart conditions in our area so it is so important for them to not get overheated,” said Pam Doty, director of The Meeting Place senior center in Columbus.

Temperatures Saturday, June 30 are expected to reach 103 degrees with a low of just 74. The

Columbus approves budget for fiscal year 2012-2013 One member against 4 percent employee raise

by Leah Justice

Columbus has a new budget that includes a one-cent tax increase for the fire department and a four-percent employee salary increase.

Columbus Town Council met Thursday, June 21 and approved the budget by a 3-1 vote. Councilwoman Ernie Kan voted against the budget, saying she objects to the four-percent employee increase.

“I still feel (the increase) should be two percent,” Kan said.

Other council members said they feel that the employees have saved the town tremendous money in the work they do in-house and that Columbus can afford it because it saved approximately $90,000 in fiscal year 2010-2011 and more than $40,000 is planned for savings out of this year’s general fund.

Council members have also said the cost of living has increased significantly over the past several

years and Columbus employees have not received a salary increase in four years. Columbus has given bonuses during the years without increases.

The property tax rate for Columbus residents will increase from 39 cents per $100 of property valuation to 40 cents. The increase will allow the fire department to hire three employees to staff the department full-time. Currently the fire department has a paid chief who works first shift Monday through Friday, but with the three new employees the department can be staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The Polk County Board of Commissioners approved the tax increase for the Columbus Fire Department. The county is charged with setting tax rates for all departments because county residents are served by the fire departments.

The town’s general fund budget was approved at $924,445 and its water/sewer fund at $1,097,800, including the salary increases. The salary increases cost the town approximately $27,000.

Columbus’ new budget year begins Sunday, July 1.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office continues to discover meth labs throughout the county, with another discovered this Wednesday week off Edgerton Road in the 10:00 A.M. Bible Study & Prayer Sunny View community.

2x2 Officers were executing a 12/4 F tfn search warrant at the mobile TBAP-033564 home park when an officer discovered a two-liter drink bottle with evidence of methamphetamine on a wooded lot.

There were also small propane tanks near the bottle, officers said.

Officers said because the TRYONBAPTIST - page 31 bottles had been there for some time and the number of people who may have lived nearby in that time it will be difficult to determine who is responsible for the lab.

The N.C. State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) was called in to assist the sheriff’s office.

Advanced Environmental Options Inc. cleaned up the lab.

This is the sixth meth lab found in Polk County in 2012.

Another meth lab was discovered in 2007 in the same, unnamed mobile home park, which includes Peach Lane and Water Lane in the Sunny View community.

Some of the meth labs Polk X

TBAP-033564

County has discovered this year were located at homes and others were located either in the woods, on the side of the road or outside homes.

The county’s fourth and fifth meth labs of the year were discovered earlier this month, one along River Road near Tryon, and another outside a home at 89 Appaloosa Lane.

No arrests have yet been made because the former residents of the Appaloosa home no longer live in the area.

Polk County’s largest meth lab in history was discovered in August 2011 in a Sunny View home. Another meth lab was discovered in Green Creek in early November 2011, and the county’s third meth lab was discovered in Lynn later in November 2011.

In January of this year, the sheriff ’s office discovered three meth labs in the woods in Mill Spring.

Wednesday’s discovery was the ninth meth lab discovered in Polk County in less than a year. Prior to 2011, no meth labs had been discovered in the county since 2007.

Most of the meth labs discovered in Polk County involve plastic bottles and chemicals used in what is known as the “shake and bake� method of cooking methamphetamine.

Polk sheriff’s weekly report During the week of June 18 24, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office answered 152 service calls.

Officers served four criminal papers and 17 civil papers and issued four citations.

Arrests during the week included one on forcible burglary charges, three on larceny charges, three on simple assault charges, one on disorderly conduct charges, one on court vio-

lation charges, one on charges issues by the N.C. Department of Corrections and three on domestic violence charges.

The sheriff’s office completed 312 church checks, 114 resident checks and 657 business checks.

Officers also took 11 incident reports and patrolled 5,762 miles. – article submitted

Polk County Community Foundation helps Pacolet Area Conservancy replace funds used to buy computer Late last winter, a critical computer in the Pacolet Area Conservancy office “died.” In that emergency situation, it had to be replaced.

PAC officials said they knew

the Polk County Community Foundation is often able to come to the aid of organizations facing the need to make an urgent or emergency purchase immediately. They applied for a grant to

replace the funds that had to be used for the new computer, and the grant was approved.

Carole Bartol, PAC board president, said, “We appreciate and applaud the Polk County

Community Foundation for having the flexibility to meet the needs of organizations in our community.”

A few weeks ago I brought Snowy back to Upstate to have the pins and stints removed from her leg. Jeanette Larson, who very much wanted to add Snowy to her menagerie, accompanied me again.

All went well and Dr. Allen (a dear man) again waived all further expenses. Snowy now needed a few more days of recuperating before being spayed within a month.

I had received some wonderful reports on how she was doing and each one could be a story unto itself. Along with many others, Chase and his wonderful family were in the running for where Snowy would live out her life.

The next day I went to Bonnie Brae, anxious to walk Snowy with bandages and apparatus off her leg. When Chase brought her out for me, she sat before him, thumped her tail and gazed up at him with a look of love that my sweet Allie reserves just for me.

“I’m jealous,” I said, kidding with Chase.

“We all love her,” Chase replied.

Right then and there I realized that the choice of where Snowy would live wasn’t mine, but hers.

“If your family approves Chase, she is yours,” I said.

Chase smiled so broadly I

thought his face would crack.

On our walk I told her how proud of her I was and how much I loved her. She made it clear to me that I was and will always be, just Uncle Lennie.

Today Snowy resides with Chase’s loving family and I am here to tell you she couldn’t have chosen more wisely.

I had the opportunity to visit Snowy a few days ago and Jeanette jumped at the chance to accompany me and witness her in all her glory.

When we arrived, there was Snowy, running and playing with two of their other dogs.

“Oh, how beautiful,” Jeanette said as tears freely flowed down her face, “it’s a blessed miracle.”

For some strange reason Hopper, the hawk I saved lo those many years ago, popped into my head.

As I gazed at her, ever grateful to all those who made this possible, I thought to myself, “Fly, my magnificent darling, you go right ahead and fly.”

Thanks for listening.

There are many strategies who tend retain fluid, drinking for losing body fat, but I’d more water is the solution.

Drinking water helps us lose If they say “yes,” I ask them if more body fat in several ways. they’re often thirsty.

Junior Legion play amps up Polk baseball program

by Samantha Hurst

Expect to see a bit more confidence when Polk baseball players take the plate next season.

PCHS Junior Varsity Coach Billy Alm said 16 players spent the last month playing four to five games a week on the county’s first junior legion team.

“Our kids are going to walk out on the field next year kind of strutting because we were able to build a lot of confidence at the plate and that has been the biggest advantage I’ve seen,” he said.

A group from middle school, junior varsity and varsity Polk County teams played together for 20 games during the month of June.

Pushing for the league was Mark Mazzilli, whose son plays on the JV team. Mazzilli went around talking to the middle school kids, while Alm said he talked with his guys on the JV team.

“They were all in as soon as we started,” Alm said. “I didn’t have to go up and twist their arm or anything. They knew how much it could mean for the program. It’s something surrounding counties have done for years that we just haven’t had the opportunity to do until now,” Alm said.

Alm said for teams east of Polk County — Lincoln County, East Rutherford and Shelby – baseball dominates players minds year round. He said a smaller school like Polk has less kids to go around so many end up having their attention stretched between two and even three sports.

“They’ve always been one

step up and this we believe will really bring our kids up to the next level,” Alm said.

He calls the legion the instructional league. During the past month, Alm and other volunteer coaches brought in former college players that in the past played for Polk County. Those former players worked with the 13-17-yearold Polk County players individually at their various positions.

Playing against legion teams from further east also pitted Polk County’s kids against stronger players.

East of here baseball is bigger.

All the teams except for one in our junior legion conference are drawing from two or three high schools. We’re drawing just from Polk,” Alm said. “You see better

pitching in legion play than you see even at the varsity level.”

Polk County’s players met the challenge. Alm said he would have been happy had the team posted four or five wins but they grabbed 10, finishing particularly strong in the last six games, he said.

While Polk’s bats got hotter so did their fielding work. Alm said fielding has become second nature to the players because they have done so much individual work.

PCHS Varsity Head Coach Ty Stott said this excites him for the future of the high school’s program.

“When we have junior legion and we start leveling the playing field and getting advantages like that I think we’re just going to get

better and better,” Stott said.

The American Legion of Tryon sponsored the team’s first season by paying insurance fees required for the team to form. Players also paid a fee and sold ads to help fund the team as well. The legion meanwhile provided support in another way too – they showed up.

“It was amazing the support we got from the American Legion there in Tryon,” Alm said. “They came to a lot of the games and had a lot of good things to say about the program.”

Alm said the Polk County community also came out to support the team with numerous people coming out to watch games.

The team’s last legion game will be played Monday, July 2 at 7 p.m. at West Lincoln High School.

New sign for Sunnydale Next time you travel down South Trade St. in Tryon, keep an eye out for the new Sunnydale sign nestled in the flowerbed in front of the historic log cabin.

“Now we’re official!” said Rebecca Davis, president of Tryon Little Theater (TLT).

“We’ve got our name tag on.

We’re not just ‘the old log cabin’ anymore, but Sunnydale.”

Thanks to the Polk County Community Foundation Board’s Discretionary Fund, TLT and the Sunnydale committee purchased a sign for the grand old building. Kathleen Carson, a local artist and herself an avid supporter of TLT productions, was commissioned to make the sign, with instructions to keep it whimsical and happy – a reflection of the fun times to be had inside the building. As part of

the same grant, Saluda Forge (owned by Carson’s husband) had earlier built the railings for the stairs connecting to the lower parking lot.

Known as Sunnydale in its early life, the log cabin changed names and purposes through the years as it morphed from a community gathering place hosting weddings, proms and New Year’s Eve celebrations to a long string of eating establishments.

Today, Sunnydale has been renovated and is now an event space of TLT, available for parties, celebrations, conferences and get-togethers.

Contact Tryon Little Theater at 828-859-2466 or visit www. tltinfo.org for rental information.

Joseph Hendrick Marley

(Written by Joseph Marley upon hearing of his diagnosis.)

Once I wasn’t.

Then I was.

Now I am not.

Joseph Hendrick Marley passed away on June 26, 2012 in Spartanburg, S.C. He was born in Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Deutschland on Dec. 23, 1946.

He came to America with his mother in July 1956 to live with his stepfather (Joe) in Carolina Beach, N.C. He attended the fourth grade at Carolina Beach Elementary School, not speaking English. Being a vivacious boy, Joseph (also known as Sepp to his German relatives) quickly mastered English.

Living at the beach as the surfing craze hit the east coast, Joseph immersed himself in the craze. He worked at the east coast surfboard shop for Lank Lancaster and Harold Petty. He also was on the surfing team for the shop, surfing in contests up and down the east coast.

Joseph was drafted in the Army as an alien (not an American citizen) during the height of the Vietnamese War. The Army could not send a non-citizen

Tryon Daily Bulletin / The World’s Smallest Daily Newspaper

to war zones, so they chose to send Joseph to Korea. In Korea, Joseph undertook the option to become an American citizen.

He was given a choice to go to a federal court in either Guam or Hawaii. Naturally, being an avid surfer, Joseph chose Hawaii. He became a U.S. citizen in 1968.

Honorably discharged from the Army in 1968, Joseph pursued an engineering degree from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Fla. Upon graduating from ERAU, Joseph went to work for then Martin Marietta, now Lockheed Martin, as a reliability/maintainability engineer until his retirement in December 2006.

Lockheed Martin gave Joseph an opportunity to work and live in Germany as a technical representative on the Pershing Missile System. He enjoyed Germy snow skiing, driving without limits on the autobahn and, of course, beer. He had a life-changing experience when he met his true love and future wife, Katie. They skied in Austria, Switzerland, Germany and France. They traveled to Egypt, Turkey, Israel, Cyprus and Spain.

Upon returning to the U.S., Joseph and Katie continued to travel to various places, eventually discovering their retirement home in Saluda.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Saluda Center, 64 Greenville Street, Saluda, N.C. 28773, or to The Church of the Advocate, 60 Church Street, Asheville, N.C. 28801.

My mouse friend Tippy says she heard people talking outside of Cowan’s Hardware Store about how back in the day (the 1920s to be exact), Eleanor Vance and Charlotte Yale moved to my beloved Tryon and started the Tryon Toy Makers and Woodcarvers Organization.

Boy, Ms. Eleanor sure could carve some wood and Ms. Charlotte loved to teach everyone how to craft the most wonderful things. Did you know I was one of the most popular toys they made?

I was so popular that in 1928 the first large version of me was built. Boy, did I stand tall, 22 hands to be exact. Wow, those were the days. I cannot wait until my ransom is paid and I can get back to what I love doing most … proudly standing, watching over all the people that come and go through my beautiful town.

How to create an ethical will Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about ethical wills? My wife and I had to make some minor adjustments to our legal will last month, and our attorney suggested we create an ethical will as a way to explain our intentions and express our thoughts and feelings. We are interested in doing this but could use some help. What can you tell me?

Planning Ahead Dear Planning, An ethical will can be a valuable complement to your legal will, as well as a wonderful gift to your family or other loved ones.

Here’s what you should know along with some tips to help you make one.

Ethical wills Unlike a last will and testament, which tells your loved ones (and the legal world) what you want them to have, an ethical will (which is not a legal document) tells them what you want them to know.

With an ethical will, you can share with your loved ones your feelings, wishes, regrets, gratitude and advice, as well as explain the elements in your legal will, give information about the money and possessions you’re passing on, and anything else you want to communicate.

Usually no more than a few pages, the process of writing an ethical will can actually be quite satisfying. But be careful that you don’t contradict any aspects of your legal will or estate plan.
