FHS dog qualifies for K9s for Warriors by Leah Justice

Here’s a list of upcoming meetings and events for area nonprofit community and governmental organizations:
A Foothills Humane Society (FHS) stray has qualified to become a service dog for a veteran through K9s for Warriors, located in Florida. A few months ago, FHS volunteer Ann Goodheart read an article about service dogs and discussed with others the idea of using Polk County shelter dogs to help those in need. A group of volunteers began researching the idea and contacted K9s for Warriors in Florida, which agreed to accept a dog that would qualify. In the meantime, local volunteers started the Service Animal Project in hopes of providing service dogs for various organizations. Goodheart, Mary Ann Merrill and Sev Bennett said they had no idea that in a short time a “miracle” Labrador retriever

Tryon expresses interest in Jervey-Palmer County tables request to pay for study by Leah Justice
The Town of Tryon has sent Polk County a letter of interest in obtaining the Jervey-Palmer building and requested that the
county conduct a phase I study on the property. County commissioners met Monday, Aug. 6 and tabled a decision to do the study. The county has a $2,400 estimate from Altamont Environmental for a phase I study. Commissioner vice-chair Renée McDermott expressed
concern over the county’s paying for the study, particularly because she said the county already knows the answers to a phase I study. “I’ve looked over Altamont’s proposal for the phase I and it seems to me all the information (Continued on page 9)

Winston has a sweet disposition, volunteers said, and he responds well to treats. They said they knew when he started obedience training he was one of a kind. “He truly loved to learn and he was very quick,” Merrill said. “Plus, he is handsome.” Winston spent a short three weeks at the shelter, during which time FHS had him vaccinated and neutered. The community became involved, helping to send Winston to Florida to see if he qualified, which he did in record time. Ambrose Mills, a member of American Legion Post 250, heard his commander read a letter (Continued on page 4)

We can show you the steps to improving your quality of life. Ruth Fulham of Lake Lure has asthma, and her difficulty breathing was increasing her difficulty with daily activities. Her pulmonologist recommended she go to pulmonary rehabilitation. She trusted her community hospital to be there to meet the need, just as it had when her husband needed a knee replacement and when she needed gall bladder surgery. She wasn’t disappointed this time either. “The staff in the cardiopulmonary clinic at Rutherford Regional are very caring and knowledgeable,” Ruth says. “They really enjoy their jobs.” The staff guided her through exercises in the lab that would improve her lung capacity as well as teaching her things she could continue to do at home. “I feel like I’ve really benefitted,” Ruth says. “It is an amazing program.” Rutherford Regional’s Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program provides safe and effective ways for heart and lung patients to return to full, active lives.

Standing room only at New Harmonies kick-off by Barbara Tilly
Those arriving at the last minute for the kick-off event of the New Harmonies series at the Landrum Library had to park on the grass and along the driveways, because all the regular spots were taken. Inside was equally crowded, as the standingroom-only crowd filled the main library room and spilled over into adjacent areas. Lee Morgan, director of the Landrum Library, welcomed the crowd to the opening reception and first presentation for “New Harmonies: Celebrating American Roots Music,” a traveling Smithsonian Institution exhibit that will be at the Landrum Library through Sept. 16. She acknowledged the Friends of the Landrum Library volunteers for their help in organizing the series in general and the opening event in particular. She also introduced Judy Bynum of the S. C. Humanities Council, the organization that selected the library as one of the sites for New Harmonies. The selection was made as part of the Museum on Main Street (MOMS) project, a national/ state/local partnership to bring exhibitions and programs to rural cultural organizations in col-
laboration with the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service. John Fowler, a master harmonica player, storyteller and ballad singer, was the featured performer and speaker at the event. He told stories about his Appalachian and upstate South Carolina heritage and sang and played old-time songs on the harmonica, banjo, jaws harp, guitar and fiddle. Fowler, who co-hosts “This Old Porch,” a weekly old-time radio show on WNCW-FM, was born and raised in upstate South Carolina, with family ties to the western North Carolina mountains. He said his grandmother, of Scots-Irish roots, was born in 1898 in western North Carolina. She met her first husband, Oliver, at church, Fowler said. “He saw Granny at church,” Fowler said, “and then he moved up a pew each Sunday until he was sitting next to her.” They were sparking and courting, Fowler said, and pretty soon they got married. Unfortunately, Oliver died young, Fowler said, and Granny was left alone to raise their one child when she was in her mid-20s. (Continued on page 7)

She eventually remarried, saying her “I dos” in Asheville, N.C. with Hugh Zachary Taylor, a 70-year-old man from Spartanburg, S.C. She joined him at his home in Spartanburg, which had electricity and running water, luxuries previously unknown to her, Fowler said. To get there, she rode the train, an all-day trip. “When people asked Granny why she married a 70-year-old man,” Fowler said, “she just said, ‘I ain’t never rode on a train before in my whole life.’” Fowler’s musical selections included an audience-participation rendition of “Come on Boys, Let’s Go Hunting,” complete with dog howls; “Cripple Creek” on both banjo and fiddle; “old Gray Mare” on jaw’s harp (sometimes called Jew’s harp), “Cabbage Head Song,” also known as “Four Nights’ Drunk”; “Going Down That Road Feeling Bad” and “My Buffalo Boy.” After Fowler’s presentation, many audience members stayed to view the New Harmonies exhibit, which explores the distinct cultural identities of American roots music through a selection of photographs, recordings, instruments, lyrics and artist profiles. The exhibit is open during regular library hours. The next event in the New Harmonies schedule will be an outdoor concert Saturday, Aug.
John Fowler
11 at 7 p.m. It will feature David Holt, who will present music and stories from the southern mountains. Four-time Grammy Award winner Holt is host of public television’s “Folkways” and PRI’s “Riverwalk: Classic Jazz from the Landing.” Then, on Sunday, Aug. 12 at 3:30 p.m., Dr. Tracey Laird will present a lecture on “Cultural Preservation: A Southern Louisiana Case Study.” Dr. Laird, Charles Loridans Associate Professor of Music and Chair at Agnes Scott College, focuses this program on Cajun and zydeco music. All New Harmonies events are free. For outdoor library concerts bring your lawn chair or blanket. No alcohol is allowed on library property.

Ours Opportunity today to grab ear of N.C. senator at Meeting Place Today at 3 p.m. Polk County residents have the opportunity to talk to one of their representatives in the federal government, expressing any concerns or recommendations they may have. Senator Kay Hagan will hold an event at The Meeting Place in Columbus to talk with constituents. It’s an unfortunate fact that voters don’t often have the chance to talk in person with their governmental representatives. Many times voters are lucky to get any type of response from an email or phone call they’ve made to the senator’s or representative’s office. So, when an elected federal official takes the time to meet face-to-face, residents should take advantage of their chance to have their concerns heard. Hagan said her constituent staff will also be available to help residents get assistance they may need. What could these people possibly do for you? They could potentially assist you in navigating issues you may have faced with federal agencies. If you’ve had trouble understanding processes within veteran’s affairs, IRS or social security, these individuals might have a stronger knowledge base to help you better understand how to get through to the proper person. Hagan’s staff will be available from 2:30-4:30 p.m. to talk with residents, and Hagan will be on hand from 3-4 p.m. Take the time to make it out to The Meeting Place to meet Hagan and her staff. Whether you agree with decisions she’s made or not - now is the time to let her and her staff know where you stand on issues. The only way voters can get what they want is to be involved and vocal. A face-to-face conversation might could go much further than an email or phone call. Now’s your opportunity to make yourself heard and get to know one of your senators better.

Tired of maintaining a large home and doing yard work?

from a phase I could be obtained from someone from Tryon talking to the county manager or someone from county maintenance,” McDermott said. She also said as a formal environmental attorney it’s her experience that the buyer normally pays for these type studies. She reviewed the questions on the study and said the county already knows what the building was used for and that no permits were ever issued for hazardous materials at the property either by St. Luke’s Hospital or the county department of social services (DSS). Commissioner Cindy Walker said she understands McDermott’s points but $2,400 is not that much money and she would be in favor of doing the study if it will speed things up. Commissioner Ted Owens also said the county is trying to work with the towns and if Tryon needs the study to be comfortable with taking the property he would be in favor. “I don’t think this will break the bank if we do this,” Owens said. Commissioner chair Ray
Gasperson said he thinks the county and Tryon both want to see this property back on the tax rolls, to be in use and possibly preserved. Polk County has offered to give Tryon the Jervey-Palmer building, which is located on Carolina Drive in Tryon town limits. The building was most recently used to house DSS offices; since the 1970s, it has also been the home of other county offices, such as the senior center. The building originally housed St. Luke’s Hospital. The property includes 4.92 acres and the 17,777-square-foot building. McDermott also said three years ago a private historical association was interested in the Jervey-Palmer building to put it back into service. She suggested the county at least contact that organization prior to paying for a study. She said she doesn’t think Tryon officials understand what a phase I study will tell them and volunteered to speak with Tryon prior to the county’s next meeting. McDermott and county manager Ryan Whitson said they would discuss the study with Tryon. Commissioners tabled the discussion until the county’s next meeting on Aug. 20 at 3 p.m.

play in six NT when South learns that his partner holds an Ace and a King. However, the objective in this hand is not the bidding, it‘s to examine the technique associated with superior declarer play. Based on the above, playing double dummy, see if you can take all 13 tricks after a Heart opening lead. Be very specific on your line of play. Here’s how the hand should be played in order to take the maximum number of tricks. After declarer wins the opening lead in his hand he will attack each minor suit by leading the eight from his hand, winning the trick in dummy and finessing for the Queen on the way back to his hand. By unblocking with the eight in each minor suit he has provided two extra entries to dummy with his “fours” to allow him to take repeated Spade finesses that allow him to take 13 tricks. The key points demonstrated by declarers technique are (one)

how to maintain transportation and (two) “interior unblocking“. How did declarer know he should use an unblocking play? He planned ahead by first looking at the transportation, i.e. entries, he needed in order to take the maximum number of finesses. He then looked at the “spot” cards to see how to best manage his resources. If you think that the contract should be bid to at least six NT, think again. Reverse the East-West hands and Heart lead would doom the average declarer in a contract of three NT. I will be teaching an eight week course on “ Defense and Play of the Hand.” The course will be held on Mondays from 9 - 11 a.m. starting on Sept. 10 and will end on Oct. 29. Details on course outline and enrollment procedure can be obtained via e-mail at darkmann@ windstream.net or telephone 828894-6322.
