Fork Creek Road to get guardrail next year DOT announces 2013 secondary road plan by Leah Justice

The N.C. Department of Transportation (DOT) has made installing a guardrail along Fork Creek Road in Saluda one of its top priorities for secondary road funding in Polk County next year.

The DOT held a public hearing Monday, Sept. 24 with Polk County commissioners to hear public comments regarding the state’s plan for secondary road improvements in 2013. A group of residents requested that the state install a guardrail along a section of Fork Creek Road because they said they feared vehicles could drop off a large embankment. County

Serving Polk County and Upper Spartanburg and Greenville Counties

commissioners also approved a resolution in support of the state installing a guardrail there. Costs for the Fork Creek guardrail installation are estimated at $165,000, with about half of the funding having been obtained. DOT district engineer Steve Cannon said the guardrail project did not qualify for spot (Continued on page 4)

safety funding, so the state made the commitment to put aside money from the secondary road program. The total budget for improvements in 2013 is $576,213, but some of those projects were actually completed this year because of their urgency. Bishop Lane, Twin Drive and Hitching Post Road in the Silver Creek Community development were paved, which cost $32,000, $15,000 and $55,000 respectively. The funding for the Silver Creek Community roads came out of the 2013 funding. District engineer Steve Cannon reviewed the projects for next year, saying most are asphalt surface treatments (AST). Cannon said the widening of Collinsville Road was removed from this year’s secondary road plan. Instead, the state agreed to widen, drain and pave Peniel Road from Columbus town limits to Hwy. 108, which is estimated to cost $400,000. Cannon said the Peniel Road project is under contract with an estimated completion date of Nov. 30, 2012. Cannon also said the Adam Millis Road paving project, in this year’s budget, is partially completed; the road has been graded and is waiting to be paved. The Adam Millis paving is estimated to cost $40,000. Dalton Road is also under construction, with cost estimates at $220,000 from this year’s allocations. Public comments included a Collinsville Road resident who said she is pleased the Collinsville Road widening has been postponed. She said it unnerves her to think the road might be widened when there is already a speeding problem there. Silver Creek Community VicePresident Don Yarbrough thanked the DOT for the completion of phase I of his community’s road

paving project. He said residents of the Silver Creek Community are grateful, as are the school children who do not have to walk far to get on buses anymore. “The community morale has improved so much recently,” Yarbrough said. “This is a direct result of the DOT, board of commissioners and the community joining together to get this project completed. Again, our thanks to the DOT and commissioners for helping to get this project completed for the new school term.” Yarbrough asked DOT representatives if three other roads in the community have been considered for paving. He said the estimates given by the DOT seemed excessive compared to original estimates. Cannon responded that the costs are indeed higher than the original estimates for the remaining roads, but said he would be glad to take another look at the costs. He said at this point, because of the costs, the roads have not been pursued any further. The roads would have to be added to the state system as the other roads were this year in order to be paved. Other comments came from commissioner vice-chair Renée McDermott, who asked if the patch from River Road to Golden Road could be paved. Setzer said River Road is an old identified need and there’s been a lot of debate on what the state should do with River Road. He said the state didn’t get rights of way on that stretch of road, but it’s pretty wide and could pave it just on the maintenance right of way. McDermott specified that she is talking about only the little section of road between River and Golden roads. Setzer also announced that former DOT board of director member for Polk County, Conrad Burrell, retired and Larry Kernea out of Murphy is his replacement.

Chu 426 Col

During the 1830s and 1840s, the Bechtler Mint in what was then Polk County but is now Rutherford County produced more than $2.24 million in gold coins for circulation and refined an additional $700,000 in raw gold, making it the most successful private mint in U.S. history. The story of the Bechtler Mint is told in a UNC-TV documentary filmed primarily in Polk and Rutherford counties. A premiere for the film will be held at R-S Central High School in Rutherfordton, N.C. on Saturday, Sept. 29, and the documentary will air on UNC-TV Tuesday, Oct. 2 at 9 p.m. and Thursday, Oct. 4 at 10 p.m.

Little Mountain Pottery reception at Tryon Gallery Trot

FREE RY E D LIVE

Vines & Stuff gift shop in Tryon will celebrate its 18th anniversary on Saturday, Sept. 29 with a reception for Claude and Elaine Graves of Little Mountain Pottery as part of the ongoing Tryon Gallery Trot. Little Mountain Pottery has been seen at Vines & Stuff since its early years. Claude and Elaine’s work has progressed from the well-known “blue vines” pattern, among others, to the recent addition of redware pottery with its bright and vibrant yellows, blues and greens. Claude said redware is pottery made of red clay with a high iron content and fired to a relatively low temperature, which enables

these bright colors. Examples of many of Little Mountain Pottery’s different styles will be included in the exhibit, as well as some special examples of the couple’s folk art pottery sculptures. The Graves have been local potters in Polk County since 1973 and are also well-known musicians. The public is invited to join in the Tryon Gallery Trot festivities at Vines & Stuff from 5-8 p.m. The shop will offer door prizes, raffles and refreshments. Vines & Stuff is located in the Shops of Tryon building, 112 N. Trade St. in Tryon. – article submitted by Vines & Stuff

Grassroots Art Project participating at Bark in the Park The Grassroots Art Project (GAP) will be part of the third annual Bark in the Park on Oct. 6. This event, held from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. at Harmon Field, will support Lennie’s Kids, a program run by Lennie Rizzo through which he helps work with animals at the Foothills Humane Society in Polk County. GAP will sell paintings at this event. Many of the artists (who at one time would have considered themselves novices) are now, in fact, selling their folk art paintings to the public. Artists will be on hand to paint pet portraits and give impromptu lessons for you and your children. You are encouraged to bring your pets to Bark in the Park. If you can’t bring your pet, bring a photo of it for artists to work from during the group’s regular Saturday classes. These renderings will be available for you to purchase at a later date.

In addition to GAP artists, this year’s Bark in the Park will include an animal blessing, a bake sale, face painting and a raffle with prizes. Furthermore, there will also be a silent auction for pet supplies and services. These items will be sold at a discount. Lunch will be available. All proceeds will go toward saving the life of a pet.

Polk After School participates in Gas Incentive Program Polk County Schools After School Academies offer extended learning opportunities to students in all four Polk County elementary schools and Polk County Middle School. This year, families have had the opportunity to participate in an incentive program this year that helps with student access to extra academic services. The Gas Incentive Program, funded by a grant from the Polk County Community Foundation’s Discretionary Board Fund, is for parents with demonstrated financial need and is designed to assist with the purchase of gas so that students can stay after school to work with teachers in reading, math, science and homework completion. The After School Academies are federally funded through a 21st Century Community

St. Luke’s Hospital Auxiliary sponsors Ache Around the Lake St. Luke’s Hospital Auxiliary took one of the top spots on the sponsors’ podium in this year’s Ache Around the Lake 8K Run/ Walk Saturday, Sept. 22. The auxiliary’s donation will support the St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation’s efforts to raise dollars to be used toward renovations and upgrades to the Center of Behavioral Medicine at St. Luke’s Hospital. In 2012, the foundation’s goal is to raise $25,000 to help cover the costs of painting, new flooring in the nurses’ station and main hallway, two new couches, upgraded visitor chairs for patient rooms, two projector televisions and other enhancements throughout the center. “We truly appreciate our auxiliary’s involvement, our long-term relationship and our joint efforts to support the needs of the hospital,” says Meshelle Colvin, executive director of the

St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation. “The auxiliary is pleased to be a part of a project that will have such a positive impact on the quality of healthcare in our community offered by St. Luke’s Hospital,” said Wendy Field, president of the St. Luke’s Hospital Auxiliary. “Good things in a city do not just happen – instead, dedicated people have to work hard to plan, build and pay for projects that enhance the quality of life for all of us.” The Center of Behavioral Medicine provides a team approach for adults 55 and older who suffer from such issues as Alzheimer’s, other dementias, depression, Parkinson’s, psychoses and anxiety. The 10-bed inpatient unit provides one-on-one, group and recreational therapy. – article submitted by Jennifer Wilson

Strategies for weight loss and fixes for those that don’t work There are many strategies for losing weight. However, some that seem to make sense to many, actually make individuals gain. Today, I’m going to describe some of these weight loss strategies, how they can backfire, and fixes to help you reach your goals. 1) You save your calories for a big dinner. While it’s true, cutting calories the right way can help us lose fat, it’s not a good idea to have all those calories at one time, late in the day. This can cause an over-production of ghrelin, a hormone that actually causes hunger. Also, if you eat most of your calories at night, you’ll not be as hungry at breakfast. By dinner time, you’ll be starving again, thus creating a vicious cycle. Fix: Eat a good breakfast with plenty of carbohydrates (for energy) and protein (to stabilize blood sugar).

2) You splurge on foods that chicken, beans, nuts, and yogurt are fat free or sugar-free. Many are good for us, they’re not defolks tend to think it’s okay to void of calories. eat all the foods labeled diet they Some believe they can eat want, whether they are lower in as much of these as they want, calories or not. and not gain weight, but that’s Also, many foods labeled just not true. fat free are loaded with caloFix: Again, read labels.

rarely works, because even if they do reach their goal, they’ve pushed so hard, they usually start going back to bad habits. The National Weight Control Registry estimates only 20 percent of dieters keep their lost weight off for a year. Fix: Don’t just diet. Make small life style changes, over time. This helps create “good” habits. Remember, slow and steady wins this race. 5) You cut way back on calories for a whole month, so you can spurge at an upcoming event. While it’s true, consuming too many calories isn’t good, cutting back too much can make you gain even more weight. Always remember, your body can’t tell the difference between what you “choose” to do, or what you “have” to do. When you go days, eating too little, your body (Continued on page 25)

Letter to the Editor

‘Where is the Ark?’

To the editor: And the Lord spoke to Noah and said, “In one year, I am going to make it rain until all flesh is destroyed. But I want you to save the righteous people and two of every living thing. Therefore, I am commanding you to build an Ark.” In a flash, God delivered the ark specifications to Noah and he began to build. Exactly one year later, fierce storm clouds gathered all over the earth, and then the Lord saw Noah on his front porch, weeping. “Where is the Ark?” “Lord, I did the best I could, but there were big problems. First,” Noah continued, “I had to get a permit for construction and your plans did not meet the building codes. So I had to hire an engineering firm to redraw the plans. Then I got into a fight with OSHA over whether or not the ark needed a fire sprinkler system and floatation devices. And then, my neighbor objected, claiming that I was violating ‘zoning ordinances’ by building the Ark in my front yard, so I had to get a variance from the city planning commission. Then I had problems getting enough wood because there is a ban on cutting trees to protect some little ole spotted owl. I finally convinced the U.S. Forest Service that I needed that wood to save the owls. However, the Fish and Wildlife Service wouldn’t let me catch any owls, so… no owls. “The carpenters formed a union and went out on strike, so I had to negotiate a settlement with the National Labor Relations

Board before anyone could pick up a hammer or saw. Now I have 22 carpenters, but still no owls! There were other problems too, Lord. When I started rounding up other animals, an animal rights group who objected to me taking only two of each kind on board sued me. Just as I got the suit dismissed, the E.P.A. notified me that I could not complete the Ark without filling an ‘environmental impact statement’ on your proposed flood. They didn’t take very kindly to the idea that they had no jurisdiction over the conduct of the Creator of the Universe. “Then the Army Corps of Engineers demanded a map of the proposed flood plain. I sent them the globe. Right now, I am trying to resolve a complaint filed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission who claims I am practicing discrimination by not allowing godless, unbelieving sinful people on board. The IRS has seized all of my assets, stating that I owe them some kind of ‘user tax’ for failing to register the Ark as a ‘recreational water craft.’ And now, the ACLU got the courts to issue an injunction against further construction on the Ark, and I really don’t thinkj that I can finish… for another 120 years.” The sky began to clear and the sun began to shine and the seas grew calm. A rainbow arched across the sky. Noah looked up, hopeful. “You mean you’re not going to destroy the earth, Lord?” “No,” said the Lord sadly. “I don’t have to. The government and commissioners already have.” - Vivian Searcy, Mill Spring

Local poet’s poem, ‘Our 911 Memoriam’ Our 911 Memoriam We can’t express the Emptiness that day has Now engraved; The tragedy that scarred us all, for those who were not saved.

But those who live Share destiny to tell Courageous tales, with Tears that reach to Heaven, we honor, Love, remember the Day of 9/11. – Janet Jamison (2011)

Polk aims to break losing streak to Mitchell tonight by Fulton Hampton

Polk County goes to visit the Mitchell Mountaineers tonight and as usual the game has major conference implications. For Polk, now 1-1 in the conference standings, this is a pivotal game. Polk has been on the losing end the last two years, ironically by the same 28 -27 score both years. Head Coach Bruce Ollis said, “Mitchell has sort of been a thorn in our side the last couple years. Mitchell is always a tough place to play… kind of a different atmosphere; the stands are so far away from the field.” Most Polk fans will vividly remember the last game at Mitchell. There was considerable controversy over the official’s “clock management.” By most accounts, the clock was inexplicably stopped repeatedly, providing Mitchell additional time for its last-second

score and the win. However, Polk comes in after a positive outing with an enhanced running game, more balanced offense and improved defensive secondary play. The Wolverines rushed the ball for 350 yards and threw for almost 100 yards (99). The running game was spread between Tyler Jackson (126 yards, three TDs), Matt Darden (70 yards, two TDs) and Alec Philpott (147 yards, one TD). Still leading the team in rushing, Philpott carried the ball 7-8 fewer times than in previous games because of the emergence of Jackson and Darden. This seemed to allow Philpott to be more of a force on defense, intercepting one pass and knocking down several others. Ollis also attributed last week’s success to improved blocking not only by the linemen but by the wide receivers as well.

Alec Philpott, no. 9, and Tyler Jackson, no. 6, both ran for more than 100 yards last week. (photo by Fulton Hampton)

Lady Wolverine tennis team takes hit from Thomas Jefferson by Elizabeth Trautman

Last week the Lady Wolverines tennis team fell short in its match against Thomas Jefferson. After the team’s strong start this season, the loss came as a disappointment. The women finished with a close final score of 5-4, winning two of the singles matches and two of the doubles matches. Polk County’s single winners were the team’s no. 4 player, Ali Halbkat (10-5), and its no. 5 player, Mackenzie McCool

(10-0). Halbkat was consistent and flexible with her shots, determined in her placement of the ball, which kept the ball at its target. Her opponent had a strong forehand, but was weak with her backhand. McCool was able to cover her area; she was quick on her feet and always ready for the ball. Her ability to see and be where she needed to be for (Continued on page 33)

Landrum plays Powdersville for first time this year by Joey Millwood

Landrum will face a new foe tonight. Powdersville visits for the first time at Cardinal Stadium tonight, Friday, Sept. 28, and the Cardinals are on a roll. Undefeated in Region 1-2A, the Cardinals have been a second-half team this season. Last Friday, Landrum fell down early in the first half to Liberty before roaring back on the arm of T. J. Fincher and the back of a stiff defense. The offensive explosion in the second half was something that head coach Russell Mahaffey said he knew was there, and he was happy his team found it. “We started doing what we are coached to do,” he said. “Hopefully that will continue this week.” This week, the biggest test for Landrum will come in the secondary. Powdersville runs a spread offense, Mahaffey said, and they

in their doubles match. McCool and Jenna Garry, Polk’s no. 6 player, had a strong win of eight to two. Both players displayed consistent serves and steady hits. Although their opponents kept them on their feet, the two players were where they needed to be and able to put the ball where they wanted it. The two teammates were

overall a stronger pair than Thomas Jefferson’s pair. Coach Heather Davis said, “It was a tough loss for us as we had several chances in singles and doubles to with this match. Hopefully we will be able to fare better next time out.” The Lady Wolverines still hold a lead in their conference despite the loss.

The pair played against strong players, especially Thomas Jefferson’s number one player. Livesay carries a solid backhand and is a quick athlete. The two Lady Wolverines both possess smooth follow-through, and although the two lost hard battles in their singles matches, they were able to bring in a victory for the Wolverines together

How to save on prescription eyeglasses Dear Savvy Senior, What tips or resources can you recommend to help seniors with the high cost of prescription eyeglasses? I used to have vision insurance through my work, but lost it when I retired. ~ Need New Specs Dear Specs, There’s no doubt that new eyeglasses can be expensive. You can easily spend $200 for a basic pair, and if you spring for add-ons like anti-glare lenses or designer frames the price can double. If you’re like most retirees, and are paying full out-of-pocket prices every time you get a new pair of glasses, here are a few strategies that can help you save. Consider insurance Depending on the amount of vision care you use in a year, one way to cut your overall costs could be to buy a standalone vision insurance policy, or a discount plan which could save you

20 to 60 percent at participating retailers. Most insurance policies run around $120 to $190 a year for individuals, while discount plans cost between $95 and $155 per year and usually provide discounts on both vision and dental, and sometimes prescription drugs. You can find both plan types at ehealthinsurance.com. Or, if you’re a current or soonto-be Medicare beneficiary, you may want to consider a Medicare Advantage plan. These are government approved, private health plans (usually HMOs and PPOs) sold by insurance companies that you can choose in place of original Medicare – which does not cover eyeglasses (unless you’ve just had cataract surgery) or routine eye exams. Many Advantage plans offer vision care, in addition to their health care coverage. See www.medicare.gov/find-a-plan

to research this option. Shop and compare Shopping and comparing prices from discount retailers and eye doctors’ offices in your area that sell prescription glasses is another key way to save. Costco is considered by Consumer Reports as the best discount store for good eyewear and low prices, and you don’t have to be a member to use them. Walmart and America’s Best Contacts & Eyeglasses offer bargain prices too. Also ask about discounts. Many retailers provide discounts to membership groups like AARP and AAA. AARP members, for example, can get 30 percent off a pair of prescription eyeglasses as well as discounts on eye exams at any LensCrafters, most participating Pearle Vision, Sears Optical, Target Optical, JCPenney

Optical and thousands of private optometrist offices. Buy online Buying glasses online is another way to save big over traditional retail stores. Some online stores like zennioptical.com, goggles4u.com and eyebuydirect. com sell prescription eyeglasses for as little as $7. Other good sites that offer huge savings and selections include 39dollarglasses. com, coastal.com, framesdirect.com, justeyewear.com and warbyparker.com. Most of these sites will also let you do virtual try-ons. This lets you upload a picture of yourself, and the site simulates what you’d look like in different frames. To purchase glasses online you’ll need your prescription and pupillary distance from an exam, and your frame size (check the inside of an old pair). Look for assistance If your income is low, depending on where you live, there (Continued on page 37)

Letter to the Editor

Planned Parenthood

To the editor: In response to a letter to the editor printed in the Sept. 12 Bulletin I agree that we should get educated and know the facts before casting our votes in November. However, there is a fact that the letter writer should be aware of which is incorrectly stated. According to the Planned Parenthood Federation of America

• Savvy Senior (continued from page 36)

may also be some local clinics or charitable organizations that provide free or discounted eye exams and eyeglasses. Put in a call to your local Lions Club to see what’s available in your area.

page

fact sheet, Planned Parenthood performed 329,445 abortion procedures in 2009. They have 749 clinics in the United States, of which 322 perform abortions. According to the Guttmacher Institute Report, Planned Parenthood performs 27.5 percent of all abortions in the United States, and 5l percent of their yearly income is from performing abortions. We do need to care for our brothers, including those in the womb. - Kitty Newton

Local poet’s poem, ‘Reaching’ Reaching

Reach back in memory to those you’ve loved But now have lost, to travel forth and Reach some end, before the years are tossed. Reach up to strive for all you seek, as goals Wear out and aim is weak. Reach out with open arms Encircle what is light, to share your knowledge or Your skill; inspire and ignite.

Speak a language of the Heart, connect with all when you’re apart And love each second as your own to keep or give Away, and from within the spirit smiles its happiness Each day. Life alone delivers us in Unpredicted ways for time erases What was once, and many yesterdays. – Janet Jamison (2002)

To reach your local club, visit directory.lionsclubs.org or call your local chamber of commerce. You may also be able to get free eyeglasses through New Eyes for the Needy or the OneSight program. New Eyes for the Needy (neweyesfortheneedy.org, 973-3764903) is a nonprofit volunteer

organization that provides free eyeglasses through a voucher program to people in financial need. And OneSight (888-935-4589, onesight.org), a creation of the Luxottica Foundation, provides free glasses at LensCrafters, Pearle Vision, Sears and Target to people who have a letter of spon-

sorship from a local nonprofit or charitable organization stating your need. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

Our animal control officer, Mike Herman, (Cowboy) brought the case before the magistrate and Rex was seized. Sometimes I wonder how my good friend keeps his wits about him as he deals with sick, stray and injured animals, along with what I consider the dregs of humanity. Rexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case was deemed animal cruelty because of lack of food, available shelter or clean water. His hips and ribs were severely protruding and this sweet boy simply looked pitiful. He is a tan Boxer about 1 Â˝ years old who arrived at the shelter on September 4th weighing in slightly over 35 pounds. Rex was nearly half the weight he normally should be but thank God he is heartworm negative. He is being fed five times a day and I weighed him just before these photos were taken, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reached 41 pounds and is on his way. When I first saw Rex my heart literally got stuck in my throat. I went into his cage, wrapped my arms around him and wept like a baby. I was smothering him with kisses and making him promises of a better life when Graeson came by. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s due for his second feeding, Lennie, would you like to feed him?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanks, Graeson, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his intake?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;He gets one cup of dry and a half a can of wet 5 times a day.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be right back little buddy,â&#x20AC;? I said, anxious to do something for this sweet boy who captured my heart. Rex now gets a large milk bone every time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in his vicinity, which he immediately devours. I visit him often in his cage and take him for walks and talks each chance I get. On our last walk I asked Rex, â&#x20AC;&#x153;How are you doing?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m fine Uncle Lennie, I like it here and the people are so nice.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someday youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be in a good home where people will love and care for you, the people here and Uncle

Rex. (photo submitted)

Lennie and Rex. (photo submitted)

Lennie will see to that.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Will there be food?â&#x20AC;? Rex asked. I laughed and wrapped my arms around him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, sweet boy, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be food too.â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll freely admit that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m prejudice when it comes to this breed of dog but if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky enough and wise enough to become Rexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forever parents, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll learn some-

thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always known. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll experience the look of love that Boxers can express like none other and the ever popular dance of joy when he greets you. I recently wrote that love is not enough, which is absolutely true, but I also stated that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the most important thing. Thanks for listening.
