Polk County’s most wanted plants: Crested Coralroot Editor’s note: This is another in a series about plant species in Polk County. The Pacolet Area Conservancy (PAC) and David Campbell will provide information about one particular plant species each month. They ask residents to let them know if they can identify where the “most wanted plant” described each month can be found in the area.

The Pacolet Area Conservancy (PAC) and David Campbell have identified this month’s Most Wanted Plant” – Hexalectris spicata, also known by the common names: Crested Coralroot, Spiked Crested Coralroot or Brunetta.

The purpose of this project is to gain a better understanding of the flora in Polk County and documenting the species present in the county, making sure that the flora of Polk County is well represented in state records and herbaria. The only extensive study was conducted in the 1950s and 1960s by Oliver Freeman.

Hexalectris spicata is in the orchid family and is native to North Carolina. The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program lists the species as “significantly rare” and it is ranked as “imperiled,” meaning that some factors make it very vulnerable to extirpation from the state. The plant has been found in the mountains, piedmont and the coastal plain in North Carolina. A specimen was collected from Polk County in 1949 and there is also a record of the species occurring in Spartanburg County, S.C. Therefore, there is a good chance that the species is growing somewhere in Polk County.

Hexalectris spicata prefers to grow in dry forests and woodlands, especially over mafic or calcareous rocks, although it has also been known to occur in acidic conditions. It contains no chlorophyll, it is a saprophytic (an organism that grows on and derives nourishment from dead or decaying organic matter) perennial herb. It is essentially

leafless and can be identified by the flower stalk, 6-32 inches tall and flesh-colored, adorned with colorful flowers in a loose terminal raceme (an unbranched flower cluster, consisting of a single central stem, along which individual flowers grow on small stalks at intervals, blooming from the base toward the tip), blooming July-August. The flowers are comprised of three yellowish brown sepals with brownish purple striations spreading about 0.8 inches and reflexed at the tips. The “lip petal” is yellowish white with bright purple, fleshy ridges. Above the “lip petal” are two yellowish brown sepals with brownish purple striations lateral petals. The fruits are ellipsoid (longer than broad and tapering to approximately the same extent on both ends) capsules that are strongly three-ribbed, hanging and about 1 inch long.

If you think you have this species growing on your property, or if you know where it might be located, contact PAC at 828-859-5060, or you can e-mail comments, questions or photos to landprotection@pacolet.org.

Tryon welcomes Martin as new town manager After nine months, the Town of Tryon has selected a permanent manager who will hopefully bring fresh ideas to the town.

Council announced yesterday the hiring of Caitlin Martin, from Easley, S.C., to serve as the new manager. Martin is young, having graduated just last May from the College of Charleston with a master’s degree in public administration. She also holds a certificate in urban and regional planning, which may give her some knowledge that can help transform Tryon’s downtown into a thriving commercial area.

Martin was one of two female candidates interviewed for the position. We commend Tryon for hiring the first female manager in Polk County’s history. The county manager and the town managers of Columbus, Tryon and Saluda have all historically been male. Perhaps she can bring a new perspective to the town’s economic and other challenges.

We welcome Martin to Tryon and wish her great success in leading Tryon in a new direction.

We also send our thanks to interim town manager Joey Davis, who did a fantastic job over the past nine months wearing numerous hats as manager, fire chief, planning and zoning administrator and code enforcer. Tryon was lucky to have his help as interim manager and is lucky that it will continue to benefit from his service in his other roles.

Polk not proactive about ordinance compliance To the editor: After reading about the his-

• Ordinance (continued from page 8)

serious concerns about ordinance enforcement and UDO administration.

The way Polk County has enforced ordinances in the past has been primarily by an archaic citizen complaint process. It appears that the county has had little concern about being proactive in ordinance compliance.

For example, to the best of my knowledge, the junkyard ordinance that was enacted in 2004 has never been enforced.

Anyone riding around the county can see a number of properties with 20 or more junk cars in plain sight.

Also, the sign ordinance that was enacted in 1994 has had fewer than four citations issued and again one can see a number of violations in plain sight that are not being enforced.

I would like the board of commissioners chairperson to correct me if I’m wrong on my findings and would appreciate getting an explanation of why the county is not more proactive in protecting and improving beautification of our county.

It’s my understanding that the UDO will bundle all of the county ordinances together under the administration of a single person who will report to the county manager and ultimately to the board of commissioners that is

in power at any point in time.

It’s not clear if the administrator will do anything to have the county act proactively on ordinance enforcement. If not, then from an enforcement and usefulness point of view, the UDO could potentially be a dangerous document. Obviously the UDO could help with cross referencing ordinances to one another for overall technical compliance, but I don’t see that as being really necessary.

It appears to me that having the UDO administered as planned opens the door to the possibility of misuse by the inpower party, present or future, by allowing them to impose their political agenda on whoever

they wish.

The existence of this type of document could also be a major deterrent to future outside investment and/or internal development in our county. Without continued growth, Polk County citizens will undoubtedly face higher taxes.

Additionally, I think having spent tens of thousands of dollars on creating this document is a waste of taxpayer money. And unless the UDO can be shown to provide a measurable benefit toward the economic development of the county and to the taxpayer, let’s stop throwing more money into the toilet.

Landrum loses close game to Walhalla Razorbacks, 28-27

by Joey Millwood

Landrum’s 28-27 loss to Walhalla hurt.

It was a different kind of hurt, however, than what the Cardinals felt in the first game of the season.

Landrum opened up the season with a 42-0 loss to Broome, but the Cardinals looked like a different team on Friday night, Aug. 31.

As the Cardinals huddled around head coach Russell Mahaffey, he alluded to his talk with them after the Broome game. He talked about the “hurt” of that loss, but how this “hurt” was different because the Cardinals were so close to winning this game.

“I’m just real proud of my team with the way they stepped it up after last week,” Mahaffey said.

In Walhalla’s first possession, quarterback Israel Williamson guided the Razorback offense down the field and ran the ball into the endzone from six yards out.

The Cardinals responded quickly. Aaron Bryant connected with Chris Schulman for a 36-yard reception. On the following play, Bryant got the ball to tailback JoJo Wilkins, who ran it up the left side for his first of two touchdowns.

Wilkins finished with 27 yards and two touchdowns.

On Landrum’s next possession, Bryant was on his way to a 57-yard touchdown when a penalty four yards behind him negated the run.

“We just have to cut out the mistakes,” Mahaffey said after the game. “We just have to keep working to get better.”

The next play from scrimmage,

a Razorback defender came up with an interception. Walhalla drove the ball down the field and Williamson scored on a three-yard run up the middle. Williamson finished with 19 carries for 146 yards with four rushing touchdowns, including a 52-yard run late in the fourth quarter that put the Razorbacks up 28-21.

The Cardinals got the ball back with 2:02 remaining after Williamson’s fourth quarter touchdown.

Polk loses 22-15 on last-minute drive by R-S Central

by Fulton Hampton

The Polk County High School football team suffered a disappointing last-minute loss to R-S Central, 22-15, on Friday night, Aug. 31. Marching 85 yards in less than two minutes for their final score, the Hilltoppers improved their record to 2-8 against Polk.

At times, Polk Coach Bruce Ollis wondered if this were the same team he’s been seeing.

Ollis said, “We had flashes of brilliance at times and then at times it did not resemble the team I had seen in the first two weeks.”

In the first quarter, R-S capitalized on an early interception and returned it to the Polk 35 yard line. After a couple plays with short runs, R-S had a “one handed over the shoulder” completion down to the 10 yard line.

Three plays later R-S scored on a short run. The extra point made it 7-0 Hilltoppers with five minutes to go in the first quarter.

On the ensuing kickoff, Polk ran the ball consistently, with a 35-yard run by Alec Philpott taking the Wolverines down to the 25-yard line. Polk then moved the ball with several strong runs by Tyler Jackson.

In his final run, Jackson bowled over an R-S player and took several others with him to the one-yard line. Philpott took it in from there with a one-yard sneak. However, Philpott missed the extra point wide right and the

Hilltoppers led 7-6 at halftime.

Polk took the second half kick, and after several runs Philpott hit Anthony Carson on a 45-yard pass play down to the 10-yard line. However, on the next play a scrambling Philpott threw an interception just outside the end zone. Fortunately for Polk, R-S immediately fumbled it, and Polk’s Chase McMurray recovered.

Two plays later, Donte Poston scored almost untouched on a 20-yard run. Polk’s two-point conversion pass attempt fell incomplete, but the Wolverines led 12-7 with 9:02 left in the third quarter.

The Hilltoppers took the kick off and methodically moved the ball, then exploded for a 41-yard run down to the five-yard line.

R-S scored on the next play and tacked on the extra point, making it 14-12 R-S with 6:54 left in the third period.

Polk started its most important drive on the 20-yard line, eventually settling for a field goal that gave them a 15-14 lead. Polk was able to stop R-S on its next drive and just had to run out the clock with 11:06 left in the game.

Polk milked the clock effectively, and although they did not score, R-S was left at its own 20-yard line with approximately two

minutes left in the game.

Polk looked in control, but the night was not over. R-S responded with a pass play that gained 50+ yards and then two shorter passes resulting in a three-yard touchdown run. The Hilltoppers’ two-point conversion accounted for the final score of 22-15 RS. Ollis said, “They made plays when the game was on the line and we didn’t. That was the basic difference in the ball game. I was very disappointed with our effort at times. (But) you have to give them all the credit in the world; they outplayed us.”

Polk plays Landrum at home Friday, Sept. 7 at 7:30 p.m.

Alexander T. Murphey Dr. Alexander T. “Leck” Murphey, 87, of Augusta, Ga. entered into rest Saturday, Sept. 1, 2012 at the Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home.

He was the widower of the late Ann C. Murphey of Evans, Ga. Leck was born on June 9, 1925 to A.T. Murphey Sr. and Elsie Wright Murphey. He spent his entire youth in Augusta and graduated from Richmond Academy High School with honors. His college career started at Clemson University but World War II caused a transfer into the Naval V12 program in medicine at the

University of South Carolina and the Medical College of Georgia.

He graduated from MCG at the age of 22 with very high honors and was named to the medical honor society AOA. Leck started his postgraduate residency in internal medicine at Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, Mich. and Charleston Naval Hospital. A short break saw him serve as a medical officer on the battleship USS Wisconsin during the Korean War. Upon completion of his active duty he returned to Augusta and started a private practice in internal medicine. He shortly became one of the first physicians in Georgia to earn a board certification in internal medicine and was named a fellow in the American College of Physicians.

Leck proudly practiced medicine in Augusta for more than 50 years before retiring. He was an active member in American Medical Association, the Georgia Diabetes Association (past president), Southern Medical Association, American College of Physicians (fellow) and a clinical researcher

Wednesday, September 5, 2012

for Eli Lily Pharmaceutical Company.

After he retired from medicine, he earned his broker’s license in real estate and founded Murphey Real Properties, Inc., which he operated with his late wife, Ann. He also rekindled a childhood passion for ham radios and became very active in the Augusta Amateur Radio Club. His lifelong hobbies included hunting, playing golf, flying (private pilot) but most of all spending time with his seven boys.

Family members include a sister, Ruth Federickson of Atlanta, Ga.; seven sons, Alexander T. Murphey III of San Francisco, Calif., Eugene Edmund Murphey of Atlanta, Ga., Dr. Julian I. Murphey (DaNelle) of Martinez, Ga., David D. Murphey of Apopka, Fla., Michael C. Murphey (Amanda) of Martinez, Ga., Chris C. Murphey of Appling, Ga. and Phillip A. Murphey (Miranda) of Appling; 12 grandchildren, Brian Murphey, Jennifer Greenbaum (Greg), Todd Murphey, Alex W. Murphey, Deidre Thigpen (Mike), Kristen G. Murphey, Nicholas Sean Murphey,

Leanna Haye (Ryan), Courtney Murphey, Lauren Murphey, Chapman Murphey and Levi Murphey; three great-grandchildren, Tyler Brodie, Emma Grace Thigpen and Patrick Haye; a sister-in-law, Jane Strong (Gene) and a brother-in-law, Capt. USN (Ret.) Austin Chapman (Caroline).

He was preceded in death by his wife, Ann Murphey, his brother, Jim Murphey (infant), and a daughter-in law, Amy Murphey.

Graveside services will be held Wednesday, Sept. 5 at 4:30 p.m. at Summerville Cemetery, with Rev. Steve Hartman officiating.

In lieu of pallbearers the family would like to thank Alex’s close friends: Mr. Harold Boardman, Judge Dudley Bowen, Mr. Joe Byrd and Mr. Oliver Owens; and very special cousins Dr. Peter B. Wright Jr., Mrs. Julianna Weeks and Mrs. Dorothy McLeod.

Memorial contributions may be made to The Augusta Amateur Radio Club or to the Medical College of Georgia section on diabetes.

The procession will end at the church, followed by music, dessert and refreshments. All are welcome to join in.
