The Town of Columbus honored Lt. Bobby Denton last week for his 30 years of service in law enforcement. Columbus Town Council met Thursday, Sept. 20 and presented
Denton with a plaque and resolution and honored him by giving him his badge and firearm. “He’s the very definition of a community police officer,” said Columbus Police Chief Chris Beddingfield.

planning board training and any land use compliance issues. The comprehensive plan cost the county $87,852.50, including $84,860 to Holland Consulting and $2,992.50 to Egan, according to the county’s figures. None of the costs include employee time. The county also received a $6,000 grant from the Polk County Community Foundation for the comprehensive plan, which is not included in the costs. Some speakers on Sept. 17 said they understand the county has spent $197,000 on the UDO and they think

that money should have been used for other needs. “I understand $197,000 has been spent and I believe that money could have been spent elsewhere,” said Polk County resident Russell Stribling. Residents Ben Hudson, Tyrone Phillips and Phillip Baumberger also mentioned the $197,000 allegedly spent. “One person doesn’t want to see lights on a mountain and you’re going to spend $197,000 for what one person wants?” Baumberger asked commissioners. In total, the county has spent $162,020.25 for the 20/20 vision (comprehensive plan) and the UDO,
including consulting and attorney fees. Commissioners began discussing creating a UDO on May 3, 2010 (see timeline page 4). A UDO committee was created to work on a draft UDO, which was approved by a split vote on May 9, 2012. The UDO committee recommended deleting the mountainside and ridgeline section, which currently restricts development at elevations above 1,650 ft., and to apply requirements for land disturbing activity of slopes 30 percent or greater to the entire county, among other recommendations. Of the members on the UDO
committee, Henry Bright, Ray
before coming back to serve as the Landrum police chief. After Landrum, he worked as a detective for the Polk County Sheriff’s Office. He then moved to the Saluda Police Department before ending his career working for the Columbus Police Department. Beddingfield described Denton as dependable, intelligent, approachable, laid-back, easy go-
ing and having a lot of wisdom. “The man is extremely knowledgeable and intelligent,” Beddingfield said. “And a true friend.” Beddingfield first worked with Denton at the sheriff’s office before Denton joined Columbus. Denton has worked the last six and a half years with Columbus. “Bobby and I have worked
together for a long time and been through thick and thin together,” Beddingfield said. “I think anytime we look at Bobby and what he’s helped us do it’s a better place. Bobby, thank you. I can’t thank you enough.” Beddingfield received a plaque from town council, as well as his badge and his Glock Model 32 pistol, caliber .357 SIG.
Gasperson, Evangelena Barber, Doug Harmon, Jim Carson, Wayne Horne and Roger Odel approved the motion with the recommendations. UDO committee members Christel Walter, Mark Byington, Renée McDermott, Harry Petersen and Lisa Krolak voted against the motion. The UDO committee’s draft was sent to the planning board, which made further revisions prior to recommending the UDO draft to the board of commissioners, including changing the slope restriction to a slope of 25 percent or more. Commissioners scheduled a workshop to discuss the UDO draft for Oct. 1 at 5 p.m.

During the third game, Polk continued with clean solid shots and serves. Ruff delivered kill shots and Overholt led many assists. Deaver slammed Polk’s 17th point. Owen’s libero slipped and appeared injured in the third game, but was able to finish out the match. However, Owen was no match for Polk’s aim and decisive hits. Polk County’s ability to deliver precise and effective shots was crucial to the team’s solid and relatively quick victory. Lady Wolverine’s Coach Heather Claussen summarized the team’s performance by saying, “Our team executed on the things we needed to do on our side. We’re trying to incorporate some new things into our offense so were focused on taking care of business on our side of the net more than what was going on on the other side.”

This picture, dated circa 1914, was on display in the history room at the Green Creek Heritage Festival on Sept. 8. Names of the ladies are not known, but may have been teachers at the school. The large building in this picture served as the first consolidated school in Green Creek township. This building was painted white later on, and usually served as classrooms. However, the large room at right was sometimes used for a basketball court, but after the new brick gym was built in 1936, the large room served as a classroom again. The smaller room at left was a classroom for many years, but the first lunchroom at Green Creek High School opened in that room about 1944. This room later reverted back to a classroom because a separate lunchroom building was constructed nearby. This new building served as a lunchroom for a number of years, and is still in use today. It is now called the Ruritan building. (photo submitted by Opal Sauve)

to the heritage festival, and a number of former students were excited to find their pictures on display in the Green Creek History Room. However, we need to borrow more pictures to copy. If anyone has annuals, class pictures, or photos from 1960s, 1970s or 1980s at Green Creek School, please call me. We would like to copy those pictures or annuals for use at next year’s Green Creek Heritage Festival. As some of you already know, I was deeply saddened about the death of Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon. If you remember, his words were “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” which made his name a household word and made America very proud. Years later, I was privi-
leged to give the invocation at a conference where Neil Armstrong was guest speaker. I, along with my boss (at the time), Hugh Morton Jr., sat at the head table with the astronaut and about six other people. When Hugh Morton, who already knew the astronaut, started to introduce me, Armstrong stood up and came over to shake my hand. I was excited, honored and overwhelmed at the same time. For the next hour, this most famous of astronauts chatted with us as if we were old friends. Armstrong asked where my home was, so he learned about Green Creek and Sandy Plains during that hour. (He had been my hero since I had watched his first steps on the moon on live television on July 20, 1969.) I really loved Armstrong’s speech at that conference.
He was a true patriot. His great love for this country was apparent throughout our conversations and his speech. Armstrong was also a true gentleman; soft-spoken, easy to talk to, down-to earth, very gracious, incredibly humble and an extremely nice person. He is the only person I have ever met, except for former President Ronald Reagan, who ranks that high on my “hero list.” A reminder: Schools are back in session so please drive carefully, slow down, watch for students, school buses and congested traffic wherever you drive, especially during school hours. We have heard of several “near-misses” lately. Remembering how precious each young person’s life is will help you to practice patience and to be more careful. When I think about children and learning, I’m reminded of

Daniel Webster’s quote: “If we work upon marble, it will perish; if we work upon brass, time will efface it; if we rear temples, they will crumble into dust; but if we work upon immortal minds, if we imbue them with principles, with justness and love of our fellowman, we engrave on those tablets (minds) something which will brighten to all eternity.” Happy birthday to Rhonda Forster, Scott Waddell, John Blanton, Lori Price, Wyllene Shields, Carole McIntire, Jane Horne, Bruce Collins, Rita Sports, Tim Linder and Peggy and James Stott.

The Polk County Marching Cadets in 2011. (photo by Ilona Verrips Taunton)
PCHS Marching Cadets present free concert Sept. 29 The award-winning Polk County High School Marching Cadets will perform their 2012 show – “The Wicked Women of Oz” – on Saturday, Sept. 29 at 8 p.m. in the high school football stadium. The show includes musical
selections from “The Wizard of Oz,” “Wicked” and “The Wiz.” It will begin with a concert of their show music, and the band will then march the full performance. The Cadets are getting ready for the next three weekends of compe-
titions. Last year the Cadets took home two grand championships and won first place trophies in all categories. The show is free, and organizers said a large audience will help the Cadets better prepare for the
competitions ahead. You will be given an opportunity to make a donation to the Cadets to help them cover costs, but a donation is not required to attend. – article submitted by Ilona Verrips Taunton

The mindful child: What is mindfulness? John Kabat-Zinn developed the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program in 1979 at the University of Massachusetts to help individuals with chronic health problems. The “mindfulness� revolution in America has been growing ever since. An increasing number of studies show that mindfulness not only helps adults with health issues, but can help children as well. PracticTuesday, december 13, 2011 ing mindfulness can improve your child’s grades, increase focus, decrease stress and anxiety and create better impulse control. So what is mindfulness? There are many definitions of mindfulness. The founders of Mindful Schools (www.mindfulschools.org) have developed this definition: “Mindfulness is a particular way of paying attention. It is the mental faculty of purposefully bringing awareness to one’s experience. Mindfulness can be applied to sensory experience, thoughts and emotions by using sustained attention and noticing our experience without reacting.� Another way of putting it would be “simply paying attention to this moment.� Think of it as paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, without making judgments. Students, as well as adults, are rarely in the present moment. They may be worrying about an upcoming test or a future social situation or ruminating over

Cover up…
On Thursday, Oct. 11, rock and roll returns as Tryon Fine Arts Center brings back “Rave On! The Buddy Holly Experience,” performed by Billy McGuigan. “Rave On!” features America’s premier Buddy Holly interpreter, Billy McGuigan, whom many describe as a dead ringer for the legendary rocker. McGuigan is backed by the Rave On Band. McGuigan has received national attention and critical acclaim for his portrayals of the legendary Buddy Holly. His many performances have broken box office and attendance records in six theaters across the country, catching the attention of the writers and producers who chose Billy as their “Preferred Buddy Holly” in the United States. McGuigan took that success and developed this new tribute, “Rave On!” In “Rave On!,” audiences will experience all the thrills of a Buddy Holly concert reimagined, including such hits as “Peggy Sue,” “Raining in My Heart,” and of course, “Rave On.” McGuigan as Buddy celebrates the birth of an era, paying homage to fellow rockers Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper. The Omaha World Herald describes “Rave On!” as “A must see for any rock and roll fan.” Tryon Fine Arts Center’s 2012-13 season is sponsored by Millard and Company. The event sponsor for “Rave On!” is St. Luke’s Physician Network. Tickets can be purchased by calling 828-859-8322 or at the box office, Tuesday through Friday 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. For more information, go to www.tryonarts.org.
