The department has since worked to receive grants to cover a portion of this restoration. The fire department wishes to raise $2-3,000 for the truck. The old fire engine needs some engine and electrical work, as well as a fresh paint job before it is fully restored. Reggie Brown will do the engine work and Reid’s Body Shop will give the truck a fresh original paint job. This Saturday’s benefit supper will offer hot dog plates, which will include one hot dog with fixings, chips, desert and a drink.

Tippy said that should make me feel better about being here. Sigh, I’m just so homesick, you guys. Tippy also told me that my good friend Richard Baker is donating a beautiful oil painting to be auctioned off, and my sweet friend Julie McIntyre is donating a one of a kind glass bead that she created. Both of these items and many
other wonderful things are being donated by my generous friends, and are all going to be auctioned by a surprise auctioneer! So, shhhhh, don’t tell if you know who it is! Even my friends from far and wide like Mary from The Red Horse Inn are pitching in to help bring me home. Oh, It makes me so proud of my town to know that all of my friends are coming together as they always have... I’m so happy to be loved. – Your loyal friend, Morris

Polk debates budget vote by Leah Justice
The Polk County Board of Commissioners debated on Monday, July 9 whether the county officially adopted the new budget, which began July 1. Commissioner Tom Pack raised the issue, saying according to Robert’s Rules, an amendment to a motion has to be voted on. During the county’s June 18 meeting, commissioners amended several motions and during the vote in which most thought they approved the budget, commissioner Ted Owens said he thought he was voting on an amendment motioned by commissioner Cindy Walker to restructure how the county will budget fuel contingency. County attorney Mike Egan later reviewed the audiotape of the meeting and determined the budget was adopted. He told commissioners July 9 that although the meeting was confusing and he understands Owens’ perspective on his vote, it was his opinion that the budget is adopted. Commissioner chair Ray Gasperson, who made the motion to adopt the budget, and commissioner RenÊe McDermott, who seconded the motion, agreed to add Walker’s amendment, Egan said. Egan said as determined by the tape, the chair stated that commissioners are now voting on the budget as amended. But Pack argued that in Robert’s
Rules, there is no provision for a friendly amendment. He said an amendment has to be voted on, according to Robert’s Rules. Egan said that’s why Robert’s Rules don’t fit a small board such as Polk County. Polk County has its own rules of procedures and when an issue is not addressed in Polk’s procedures the board is supposed to follow Robert’s Rules of Procedures. Owens said he’s conducted a lot of meetings and the budget vote was not done properly. “That motion was never voted on,� Owens said, speaking of Walker’s amendment to the motion to restructure how the county is budgeting fuel contingency. “That motion is still hanging out in nevernever land.� Walker said after Owens voted to adopt the budget, she was delighted that he voted in favor, but then felt his pain that he didn’t realize he was voting in favor of the budget. But she said the board asked the county to review it, he’s given his opinion and it’s noted in the minutes that Owens didn’t intend to vote on the budget. She said if the board voted again it would be the same outcome that the budget is approved. Egan said the board may want to address its policy for future issues, adding that the county’s rules also say a second is not required on a motion although the county typically seconds motions.

Three Polk students win Golden LEAF scholarships The North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority recently selected Andersen Conner, Abigail Hall and Emery Viehman as recipients of $12,000 Golden LEAF Andersen Conner Foundation Scholarships. All three students graduated from Polk County High School. Conner will attend UNC-Wilmington; Hall and Viehman will attend Western Carolina University. They are among the 215 students selected to receive a $3,000 scholarship each year for up to four years of study at a participating N.C. public university or private non-profit college or university. Recipients are from rural, economically distressed North Carolina counties and are selected based on a number of criteria, including a review of school and community service activities, goals and expressed intent to contribute to rural communities upon graduation from college. The Golden LEAF Foundation created the Golden LEAF Scholarship program to broaden eduAbigail Hall cational opportunities and provide support to students from rural counties, with the hope that after graduation, recipients will provide leadership in these communities. “The Golden LEAF board of directors has been pleased to assist more than 7,800 students from families in rural communities attend college since 2000,” said Dan Gerlach, Golden LEAF president. “The Golden LEAF scholarship is one of the many tools we have to help fulfill our
purpose of growing North Carolina’s rural economy. Our hope is that through this scholarship opportunity, scholars will be able to gain valuable knowledge and skills and come back to their hometowns or another rural area to help our communities prosper.” The Golden LEAF Foundation is a nonprofit organization established in 1999 to help transform North Carolina’s economy. The foundation receives one-half of North Carolina’s funds from the 1998 Master Settlement Agreement with cigarette manufacturers and places special emphasis on assisting tobacco-dependent, Emery Viehman economically-distressed and/or rural communities across the state. The Golden LEAF Foundation works in partnership with governmental entities, educational institutions, economic development organizations and nonprofits to achieve its mission. The foundation has awarded 1,094 grants totaling more than $484 million since its inception. The North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority (NCSEAA) administers the program on behalf of the Golden LEAF Foundation. NCSEAA, established in 1965, is the state agency that promotes access to higher education by administering financial aid and savings programs, informing students and families about paying for college, teaching educators about financial aid administration and advocating for resources to support students.

Earl Wyss Rutherford Orthopaedics patient
Pain shouldn’t be a part of your day-to-day life. We can help. Pain, pain and more pain. The never-ending pain from his knees was all Earl Wyss of Polk County could think about. “You went to bed with it, you got up with it and with every turn it turned with you,” he says. On his wife’s recommendation, Wyss went to see Dr. Charles Bond of Rutherford Orthopaedics. Now, after having total knee replacements on both knees, Wyss is pain free. “I can use them well. I should’ve had this done almost 10 years ago,” he says. “I think Dr. Bond is a great surgeon.” Rutherford Orthopaedics offers a full range of care, from foot and ankle and joint replacement surgeries to sports medicine and rehabilitation. At Rutherford Regional Health System, we’re committed to meeting the medical needs of our community with compassionate, personalized healthcare.

Naturalist Tim Lee shows a participant a corn snake during a presentation called “Modern Myths and Facts about Snakes” at the Anne Elizabeth Suratt Nature Center at Walnut Creek Preserve. (photo by Pam Torlina)
Lee and snakes draw crowd at Walnut Creek Preserve On Saturday, July 14, more than 70 people filled the Anne Elizabeth Suratt Nature Center at Walnut Creek Preserve for naturalist Tim Lee’s presentation, “Modern Myths and Facts about Snakes.” The program was part of a collaboration between the Pacolet Area Conservancy (PAC) and Babs and Bob Strickland of Walnut Creek Preserve. The audience learned about the habits and anatomy of snakes and how some of the misconceptions, or myths, about snakes originated. Near the end of the program, Lynnea Stadelmann of the Foothills Herpetological
Society showed the group several of her corn snakes. Guests were invited to see, touch and hold the snakes, if they desired. If you would like more information on the Foothills Herpetological Society, you can visit www.meetup.com/FoothillsHerps/ or check out the group on Facebook. To see more photos from this event and/or for information on upcoming programs at Walnut Creek Preserve, visit the PAC website at www.pacolet.org. Programs are presented to the public free of charge. - article submitted by Pam Torlina

Local lore, literary history featured in Blackman mysteries Those who like their mysteries spiced with local lore and literary history will find Mark de Castrique’s Sam Blackman mysteries hard to put down and easy to recommend. The latest, and third in the series, is “The Sandburg Connection” (Poisoned Pen Press, 2011), a story replete with factual history surrounding Carl Sandburg’s farm, Connemara, in Flat Rock. Those of us fortunate enough to live down the mountain from this literary landmark can delight in the easily recBook ognizable places such as the Big Glassy Trail, the neighboring Flat Rock Playhouse and the historic home itself. Even a descendant of Mrs. Sandburg’s champion goats plays a minor part in this well-imagined mystery. Although it is a literary mystery, plenty of action and plot twists will keep readers anxious and guessing. There is even a dose of Civil War history since Sandburg’s house was built and occupied for its first 50 years by C. G. Memminger, secretary treasurer of the Confederacy. The author, himself a native and resident of the North Carolina mountains, does a first-rate job of incorporating authentic detail and history into his novels. In the first Blackman novel, “Blackman’s Coffin,” the plot is woven skillfully and credibly around a never-published manuscript of Thomas Wolfe’s. The mystery in “The Sandburg Connection” hinges on a song sheet reputedly unearthed by Sandburg when he made structural changes to his house. A rediscovery of the song lyrics in modern times sets in motion the possibility
of hidden Confederate treasure and gives rise to motives for murder. Detective Sam Blackman is likeable from the start with his self-deprecating sense of humor and tough independence. A veteran of the war in Iraq with a background in criminal investigative work for the army, he has returned home again after losing a leg. He falls back into detective work quite by accident and falls in love with Nakayla Robertson, whose sisdeath he inReview ter’s vestigates in the first novel. By the time of this book the two have formed a detective agency with an office in Asheville’s Pack Square near where Thomas Wolfe’s father’s monument shop stood in the early 1900s. De Castrique’s books are well-researched and evocative in their descriptions of the Asheville region. In his first book, Tryon even gets a mention. De Castrique tells an enjoyable story, painting landscapes and portraits of places and people from our mountain region. Besides Sandburg, two other notable historical figures appear, helping to give the story authenticity and special appeal to those of us who know whereof he speaks: Flat Rock storyteller and columnist Louise Bailey, who once worked as Sandburg’s secretary, and Donald Lee Moore, composer and collector of mountain songs. May Mark de Castrique find a mother lode of regional lore from our storied mountains to build his mysteries around so that readers can spend more time with Sam Blackman as he solves them. – article submitted by Gina Malone

neighborhood, whose Honda I often see going down my street in the early morning, en route to her own routine of feeding/ mucking out. As I signed her book she said, speaking of the goose I had rescued from Highway 11 and the star of a recent column, “You know, I saw Clara.” “Did you? Where?” “We didn’t know what she was at first - we just saw this huge white bird out on the pond
past the horse pasture with the other Canada geese and I said, ‘Is that a swan? What’s a swan doing out there? Then another woman said, ‘That’s no swan, that’s a goose! That must be Clara, the goose Pam Stone wrote about.’” This was one of my favorite interchanges with a reader and now, a friend, because it validated what I often tell people who ask: that what I write about isn’t fabricated, it’s true.

Open 7 days a week. Call 864-764-4239 to reserve your space.
Nadine Naujoks has formed a walking group called The Foothills Mile Markers. The group meets at 7:30 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, rain or shine, at the Tom Raymond Fitness Trail, located near St. Luke’s Hospital in Columbus. According to Naujoks, the only time the group does not meet is if the weather is so bad the schools close. Naujoks said the focus of the group is to help people improve their fitness level and lose weight, if desired. “No matter what your fitness level, the least expensive and highly effective way to maintain or ramp up that level is by walking,� Naujoks said. “There have been too many times I’ve lost weight and then once I reached that goal, I got complacent and guess what, 0TFN3TUE the - page 7 came right back, far weight easier than it was to take off! So, to keep myself accountable and to help others reach their health and fitness goals, I’ve started this walking group.� Naujoks said in addition to helping improve health and

fitness, a walking group will give participants the following benefits: • Safety • Socialization • Accountability • Friendship • Motivation “The camaraderie of a walking group and the shared fitness success can help you walk your way to better health,â€? Naujoks said. “Getting support from others by walking together will actually help us stick with our health and fitness goals.â€? The Foothills Mile Markers walking group is free, but Naujoks suggests everyone chip in a donation each week into a kitty. Each month half of the kitty will be donated to the Tryon Youth Center and the other half divided and given to participants as rewards for the most inches lost and most improved fitness.

Casey Smith named Landrum High School softball coach by Joey Millwood
The search for the next softball coach at Landrum ended not far down the road. Landrum has hired Casey Workman Smith to take over the post that was vacated by Tucker Hamrick, who left to become an assistant principal at Chapman High School. “I was greatly relieved after
meeting with coach Smith that we had an answer right here in the district,” Landrum Athletic Director John Cann said. “I’m excited. I think we’re getting a top quality individual with a great softball background.” Smith was an All-State pitcher at Chapman for four years and an All-Region pitcher for five years. After high school, she spent four
seasons as a pitcher for North Greenville College. She graduated in 2003 and began working in District Seven before landing back home in District One four years ago. Smith is a seventh-grade science teacher at Mabry. For Smith, the Landrum softball (Continued on page 25)

She has two kids, ages 5 and 4, and is ready to get back on the field. Landrum was the perfect opportunity. “ I t ’s L a n d r u m , ” s h e said. “They’re always good at just about everything.” That played into the good timing of the availability of the job.

again, but she wanted to stay put. “I wasn’t even looking at leaving the district,” she said. “I wouldn’t leave the district to chase a job.” Smith and the Cardinals will return plenty of talent next season. Landrum lost key components in pitcher Jordan Farmer, catcher Bre Cuff and centerfielder Skyler Henderson. That’s all they lost, however. “I think we’ll be fine,” she said.

Tips on selecting the right assisted living residence Dear Savvy Senior, Can you give me some tips on picking a good assisted living facility for my mother? Her health has declined to the point that she can’t live alone anymore but isn’t ready for a nursing home either. – Need assistance Dear Need, If your mother needs some assistance with daily living activities like bathing or getting dressed, managing her medications, preparing meals, housekeeping, laundry or just getting around, an assisted living facility is definitely a good option to consider. Assisted living facilities are residential communities that offer different levels of health or personal care services for seniors who want or need help with daily living. While there’s no standard
blueprint for how they’re constructed, an assisted living facility may be part of a retirement community or nursing home, or they may stand alone. Most communities have between 25 and 125 suites, varying in size from a single room to a full apartment. And some even offer special memory care units for residents with dementia. Here are some simple steps you can take to help you find a good facility.

charge and if they provide the types of services your mother needs.
Call your ombudsman: This is a government official who investigates long-term care facility complaints and advocates for residents and their families. This person can help you find the latest health inspection reports on specific assisted living facilities, and can tell you which ones have had complaints or other problems. To find your local ombudsman, call your area aging agency or see ltcombudsman.org.
Tour your top choices: During your visit, notice the cleanness and smell of the facility. Is it homey and inviting? Does the staff seem responsive and kind to its residents? Also be sure to taste the food, and talk to the residents and their family members, if available. It’s also a good idea to visit several times at different times of the day and different days of the week to get a broader perspective. Also, find out about staff screening (do they do background checks) and training procedures, and what percentage of their staff leaves each year. Less than 30 percent annually
Savvy Senior
Make a list: Start by calling your Area Agency on Aging (call 800-6771116 or visit www.eldercare.gov for contact information) for a list of assisted living facilities in the area. You can also do a search online at senior housing locater sites like snapforseniors.
Call the facilities: Once you’ve narrowed your search, call the facilities you’re interested in to find out if they have any vacancies, what they

Assisted living costs: Since Medicare does not cover assisted living, paying for this type of housing is another area you may have questions about or need assistance with. Monthly costs for assisted living ranges anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000 or more, depending on where you live, the facility you choose and the services provided. Most residents pay out-ofpocket from their own personal funds, and some have long-term care insurance policies.

Exercise musts at any level As a master personal trainer, I work with beginners, intermediates, advanced and even train other personal trainers to better their skills. The tips I’m going to share with you today can benefit all exercisers.
Doing “isolation” exercises like bicep curls are necessary, but get more bang for your buck by doing exercises that work several muscle groups at the same time. Great compound exercises include lunges, squats (often called the “king of exercises”), pull-ups, dips, military presses, good mornings, push-ups, dead lifts, rows and bench presses.

Friendship Council luncheons continue with July 21 event Thermal Belt Friendship Council will hold its monthly luncheon Saturday, July 21, at 11:45 a.m. at Copper Mill Restaurant in Columbus. All are invited. The Friendship Council is active in bringing peoples of various races and ethnic back-
grounds together in the various events it sponsors, such as the annual Friendship Picnic at Harmon Field in June, Christmas caroling and potluck and the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration held at Tryon Fine Arts Center every year in January.
The Friendship Council has no membership requirements, no dues, and there is never a charge for its events. The group meets the second Tuesday of each month (except June, July and August) at 6 p.m. at the Roseland Community Center, located on Peake Street
in Tryon. More information on The Friendship Council can be found at friendshipcouncil.homestead. com and www.Meetup.com/ FriendshipCouncil on the web, or by calling 864-457-2426. - article submitted by Lynnea Stadelmann

structure? We all have benefit, but that doesn’t answer the question of who should be paying what. The facts indicate that all the direct financial benefits go straight to businesses and corporations. However, employees do get jobs, indirectly, and as long as they continue to receive increased wages from the NDIderived efficiencies, there is some level of fairness. So what if you don’t work for wages but live on invested wealth? Let’s see, that means
your money is invested in businesses to take advantage of consumers buying products and services. The consumer generates the demand and your wealth is one of the options that businesses tap into to invest and create jobs that were generated by the consumer demand. So your income and quality of life is based on a successful outcome of the investment. Taking into account that businesses rely upon trucks, trains, waterways, highways,
ports, water and sewers, any efficiencies in these systems reduce their costs to a much higher level than the $190 billion saved on employee wages. To calculate this, you’d have to know the total annual operating hours of commercial vehicles, trucks, trains, boats/ ships, planes and other equipment. And then you’d need to know the operating costs of each of these vehicles/equipment. Needless to say, it’s a big number.

Foothills Humane Society welcomes summer interns Foothills Humane Society (FHS) recently announced the arrival of two summer interns, Nick Sheffron and Samantha Austin. Sheffron resides in Columbus and currently attends Camden Military Academy in South Carolina. After a few days at work, Sheffron said, “What I like best about working at FHS is seeing the animals every day and being able to give something back to those who have nothing.” Austin, who lives in Landrum, is currently a student at Landrum High School. Austin said she is excited about her opportunity and noted that she has found great reward in seeing “animals go to good homes on a daily basis

Saluda’s community spirit thrives in heat of summer “The moon was like a full cup tonight, too heavy, and sank in the mist soon after dark, leaving for light faint stars and the silver leaves of milkweed beside the road, gleaming before my car.” – Excerpt from The Cows At Night” by Hayden Carruth Year-round, I like to hang laundry out to dry in the sun: for sunshine-freshness and saving on energy bills.

The Marc Yaxley Trio takes the stage at Rogers Park in Tryon, July 20 at 7 p.m. This third show in 2012 Summer Tracks Concert Series is sponsored by TD Bank. This concert was rescheduled from the rained out show on July 13. The Marc Yaxley Trio brings together the talents of three stellar musicians, all with impressive careers in their own right. Jazz-blues guitar master Marc Yaxley has opened for jazz great Ramsey Lewis, trumpeter Maynard Ferguson and blues rocker Warren Haynes. Since moving to Western North Carolina in 1993, Yaxley has recorded six CDs and performed as a soloist at numerous local venues, including the Grove Park Inn Jazz Festival. Yaxley serves on the music faculty at the University of North Carolina-Asheville. Yaxley is joined in the trio by Cameron Austin on bass and Bill Berg on drums. Berg is best known as the drummer for the 1980s-1990s contemporary jazz band Flim & the BB’s. Bill has recorded with folk-music greats Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens and Leo Kottke. Austin was a mainstay bassist and producer for both live and studio productions during the thriving acoustic rock decade in Atlanta, Ga. He also serves as an assistant professor in the Business
