Sometime during the night of Jan. 23 along Silver Creek Road, three out buildings were broken into. One of those buildings belonged to William Arledge where more than $500,000 in cash was taken from a safe.

news briefs A glance at some of the latest news in the area.
Polk cancels Nov. 5 meeting The Polk County Board of Commissioners cancelled its Nov. 5 meeting to give candidates time to campaign for the election on Nov. 6. Commissioners met on Oct. 15 with commissioners Ted Owens, Ray Gasperson and Cindy Walker making the decision. The meeting will not be rescheduled. The next meeting will be held on Nov. 19.
Tryon annexes Vaughn’s Creek greenway property Tryon Town Council on Oct. 16 approved the voluntary annexation of a portion of the Vaughn’s Creek greenway not located within city limits. Council held a public hearing with no comments. The annexation is contiguous and includes a back section of the property near the railroad trussels.
Tryon to amend personnel policy for garbage Tryon Town Council agreed on Oct. 16 to add language to its personnel policy to prevent employees from bringing personal garbage to town dumpsters. Council also discussed an issue of former employees bringing personal garbage for the town to dispose.
Tryon in need of planning and adjustment board members The Town of Tryon is in need of volunteers to its planning and zoning board. One vacancy is for a town resident and another is for an ETJ (extraterritorial jurisdiction) resident. The board will also face a third vacancy in December. Tryon Town Council met Oct. 16 and asked residents for help serving on the board as the board has not been able to make any decisions in months due to not having a quorum.
• Tryon ABC (continued from page 4)
pressed concern over the store’s future due to lack of revenue. Town representatives have said the relocation of the store from downtown to South Trade Street and several restaurants closing down caused the store’s business to decline. Tryon has run an ABC store since 1951 and at the time was
the only one in Polk County, which is a dry county. Peoples said in the 1980s the ABC store brought in more than $200,000 a year in revenue but after Columbus opened an ABC store and South Carolina ABC stores opened, Tryon’s revenue began declining. Tryon’s ABC board has a meeting scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 25 at 5:15 p.m. at the town hall meeting room.

Letter to the Editor
To the editor: On Sept. 17 a meeting was held at Polk County High School for the purpose of public comments on the UDO (Unified Development Ordinance). During this meeting the idea of a referendum on the UDO was raised by some of the citizens that spoke. After the public comment section of the meeting, commissioner Renée McDermott addressed the issue of a referendum on the UDO. Commissioner McDermott said that while certain issues were permitted in North Caro-
care law the majority of citizens opposed. Tea Parties were formed to oppose the direction our government was headed. In 2010, we elected a Republican majority in the House. The President could no longer force his legislation through Congress. He started using executive orders to circumvent Congress. This is not the way our founding fathers intended our government to be run.
We have a presidential candidate with firm family values. He is a successful businessman. When the Olympic committee was losing money, he took over and made it profitable. He was governor of Massachusetts when it had a Democrat legislature. He was able to work with them to get a health care law passed that the people were happy with. Terrorism continues to be a problem. We continue to have
high unemployment. If you are unemployed and can find a job it is probably pays less than the one you lost. Our economy is in the doldrums. The national debt is soaring and China is our financier. Our standard of living is sinking. Health care costs more than it did before the new law was passed. On Nov. 6, we have a chance to replace a failed administration. Let us not make a mistake! - Joe Jackan, Tryon
the Bulletin is my concern for the community’s small movie theater. I enjoy being able to go to the movie theater and know that I am benefiting a local business. I am however concerned about the deterioration of the premises.
I'd like to see a community fund set up to help renovate the building. I know everyone would support this project as it is "our theater" collectively. I know the community prizes it and would gladly pitch in to assure its presence for years
to come. I would be willing to donate money and help with a fund drive in any way I can. I'm sure with the help of The Tryon Daily Bulletin this effort could be multiplied. We'd give a lasting gift to our community. - David Kendall, Tryon

lina, the UDO would not be eligible for a referendum. The fact that the state constitution limits referendum items is true. The idea that the county cannot have a referendum on the UDO is not true. The state allows referendums on items other than listed in its constitution. Our county commissioners would need to vote on and send a resolution to our state senator or state representative with a request for a special referendum. Such a request is considered a Local Act (less than 15 counties) and after presented by our local senator or representative is usually rubberstamped by the state legislature. – Jeff Bradley, Saluda
UDO referendum isn’t inconceivable

October is National Depression Awareness Month DEPRESSION – Everyone feels “blue”, “down in the dumps”, “blah”, or “bummed” occasionally. These situations are often accompanied by feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. For most people, these feelings go away quickly. However, if these feelings do not get better or go away then a Depressive Illness may be present and medical and/or psychological treatment is needed. DEPRESSION CHECKLIST
The following checklist will help you assess and document your feelings and behavior or those of someone you know. This information will provide your physician or therapist with a fairly good picture of your emotional state or that of someone you know.
Signs of Possible Depression Check all that apply. Be as objective and thorough as possible.
Use additional paper to share your observations or give examples of the behaviors.
Do you or someone you know express the following FEELINGS? Sadness Worthlessness
Hopelessness Guilt
Do you or someone you know have difficulty THINKING?
Concentrating
Headaches Lack of energy
Making decisions
Do you or someone you know complain of PHYSICAL PROBLEMS? Stomachaches Sleeping problems
Emptiness Not enjoying everyday pleasures
Completing work assignments
Joint or backaches Weight or appetite changes (gain or loss)
Do you or someone you know have BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS?
Restless Not wanting to go to school or work Cutting work or skipping school Irritable Drinking or using drugs Having difficulty getting along with others Wanting to be alone most of the time Dropping out of sports, hobbies or activities
Do you or someone you know talk or think about SUICIDE? Suicide Ideation Thoughts of Death Other morbid subjects Depression affects one in ten people. Some of the causes of depression are major life changes, the death of a loved one, substance abuse, serious illness, medications, conflicts, being bullied, feeling overwhelmed and genetic factors. Often an individual may think they can work through it or tough it out, but there are better ways to overcome depression. Having a regular exercise routine, eating healthful food, reducing stress, seeing a therapist and taking medication for depression are all ways to overcome a depressive illness. Depression is a medical illness, not a weakness. If you or someone you know scores high on the checklist above, please see a medical or mental health profession as soon as possible. There are many fine professionals in our community ready to help. This information has been provided to you by the Polk County Mental Health Advisory Board.

“The enormity of their compassion is unbelievable. It’s like they’ve been in your shoes.” - Priscilla McBrayer, a patient at The Mammography Place
Comfort and care you can trust with every visit. When her routine mammogram revealed an abnormality and she had to undergo a diagnostic mammogram, Priscilla McBrayer was anxious for results. She felt relief when a personal phone call came from Sharon Elliott, director of The Mammography Place, to tell her everything was normal.
Cancer Program Family Care and Pediatrics General Surgery
“The enormity of their compassion is unbelievable,” Priscilla says. “It’s like they’ve been in your shoes.”
Home Care
The professional and confident care given by the staff at The Mammography Place is why Priscilla has chosen to get her mammograms there every year. “They know about you and ask about what’s going on in your life. I’ve always told anyone that this is a great place to have your mammogram done.”
Orthopaedics
The Mammography Place and its technologists are fully accredited and certified by the American College of Radiology to provide the highest quality screening mammography services to the women of Rutherford County and the surrounding area.

Owen visits Polk for huge senior night matchup by Fulton Hampton
Polk versus Owen…almost enough said. This late season game is always a major factor in the WHC Conference Championship. But this year may be as big as any in the last few years. This game is crucial on several levels for the Wolverines; conference championship and playoff implications, maintaining their unbeaten streak at home this year and Senior Night. The Wolverines never overlook Owen. Over the last few years Polk (7-2, 4-1 conference) versus Owen (4-5, 3-2 conference) has produced consistent nail bitters. Coach Bruce Ollis mentioned the importance of the game as he spoke about the Friday night match. “I can’t remember a game that did not go down to the wire or wasn’t close late in the fourth quarter,” he said. “They are a hard-nosed physical football team just like always, well coached; I expect a tough (Continued on page 29)

Cardinals look for win on road against Crescent to break losing streak by Samantha Hurst
The Landrum football team looks to grab a win on the road tonight as they face off against region foe Crescent High School in Iva, S.C. Cardinal faithfuls need the
win after two weeks of moral-lowering shutouts against Chesnee (17-0) and Blacksburg (35-0). Pulling out a win won’t be easy however as Crescent currently has seven wins and only
two losses under its belt. The Tigers hung tough against Blacksburg back in September, narrowly losing 48-42. Coach Russell Mahaffey said the Cardinals played “sloppy” in its game against Blacksburg last
week meaning they would need to make corrections on both offense and defense to win tonight. LHS’ record stands at 3-5 overall on the season and 3-2 in Region 1-2A play. Tonight’s game starts at 7:30 p.m.

physical football game. They are more ground based (offense), they have always been an off tackle team; always have hard-nosed fullbacks and tailbacks. But have a vertical passing game… they try to hit the home run a lot (when they throw).” Seniors Todd Yoder No. 55, Daniel Cox No. 28, Coleman Bradley No. 33, Floyd Graber No. 68, Lucas Williams No. 5 and Alec Philpott No. 9 will be honored tonight at 7 p.m. “All (of them) have been a part of a lot of victories here and we are certainly very proud of them. This is the last home game we can promise our seniors, we would certainly like to see them go out winners at home. The best sendoff we can give them is a win,” Ollis said.

and begged Donna to do what she can to save her. Donna nodded and promised to do so and once again had the whole staff in tears. I gave Lucy a kiss, sent up some prayers and left her in the best hands I could. Earlier that evening I received a call from Nancy and her daughter Raven, who had Roscoe, my little black Pom. They were returning him to Landrum vet because they couldn’t control his urinating. They loved him dearly but because they are renting and had to leave him alone during work and school hours, the problem was too much to overcome. I called Josh and Astrid at Dogwood Farms and they agreed to board him for me. Donna called soon after and had estimated Lucy’s age at between 12 and 14 years. “It’s a miracle she held on this long,” Donna said and then ex-

plained that all that they’ve found with blood tests and x-rays. “I believe in miracles, Donna, what are her chances?” “We’ll be operating first thing in the morning to remove her uterus and remove some of her bad teeth. She’s doing fine right now and all the staff have adopted her, especially Kim, who spends every spare moment with her.” “Thanks, Donna, I’ll check in tomorrow after work and be sure to thank the staff for me.” On Thursday after my shift I rushed to Landrum to see how Lucy did. I learned that the operation went well but Lucy was down to 3 pounds after all the infected area was removed. “Kim is with her now,” Donna said. “Of course,” I said smiling and I left hopeful and optimistic. Roscoe had been brought back and I told them I’d be taking him to Dogwood Farms on Saturday. After a few more stops I went home and started making calls. I was delighted to see how many
people were willing to help get Lucy into a forever home to live out her life, especially Lori Jewell at Pet Tender Angels. I then wrote a letter to an extended family who all pitched in and donated $500 to Lennie’s Kids; I let them know their money went toward Lucy. Friday after work I again rushed over to visit Lucy and learned she was eating well and the staff once again told me how much they loved her. “I love you guys,” I said. “We love you too Lennie.” I went to the recovery area and held the darling little soul in my arms as Kim took photos for me. On Saturday I went to pick up Roscoe to bring to Dogwood Farms; he is now there and having a ball with all the other dogs. I’m hoping the right family will adopt him from there, meanwhile Josh is working on his problem. When I went in to fetch Roscoe, Kim tearfully came up to me and informed me that Lucy passed away during the night. Everyone

agreed that her heart just gave out. Kim was inconsolable and I told her that Lucy died with more love and caring than she had received in a long time. “God only lends them to us sweetheart, we did what we could but I guess He wanted her back.” Thanks for sharing my highs and lows and as always: Thanks for listening.

Putting his feet where his heart is When Wells Fargo Advisors’ Mike Ashworth signed up as the presenting sponsor of the Tryon Half Marathon, he also committed himself to running the 13.1-mile race. This event is not only a first for Tryon, but a big first for Ashworth, who has always wanted to take on this race distance. The inaugural Tryon Half Marathon will be held at Harmon Field Nov. 17. Proceeds for the race, hosted by the Tryon Running Club, will benefit Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry. Ashworth has been running for five years as a way to get in shape. When the opportunity came about to be a part of a charity endurance race in his own “backyard,” Ashworth had no choice but to take on this running challenge. To help Ashworth achieve his
goal, he signed on with Triathlete Coach Katie Malone. Both Ashworth and Malone are members of the Tryon Running Club. “Having meaning behind a race like this is as important to me as the personal challenge,” explains Ashworth. “You can get through those long miles if you know it’s for a great cause.” For more information about the race, contact race director Scarlette Tapp at 864-680-1770. The Tryon Running Club is a 501(c) 3 chapter of the Road Runners Clubs of America and welcomes walkers and runners of all ages and abilities. To learn more, visit www.tryonrunningclub.com or find the group on Facebook. Call TRC President Laura Phelps at 828817-1833 for more information. – article submitted by Scarlette Tapp

Dear Savvy Senior, Is it important to compare Medicare Part D prescription drug plans every year? My pharmacist recommends it, but it’s such a hassle sorting through all those different plans. What can you tell me? Confused Beneficiary
Dear Confused, Because all Medicare Part D prescription drug plans can change their 0TFN5FRI - INDD - page 15costs and coverage each calendar year, comparing plans every year during the open enrollment period (which is Oct. 15 – Dec. 7) is still the best way to ensure you don’t miss out on your best deal for 2013, especially if you take a lot of medications. Here are a few tips and resources that can help you compare plans with the least amount of hassle.
tion co-payments and may end up being more expensive. Look at the “estimated annual drug costs� that shows how much you can expect to pay over a year in total out-of-pocket costs – including premiums, deductibles and co-pays. Also, be sure the plan you’re considering covers all of the drugs you take with no restrictions. Some plans may require you to get permission or try a number of cheaper drugs before they will cover certain prescriptions.
Savvy Senior
Online tool If you’re comfortable using a computer, you can easily compare Medicare’s drug plans yourself online. Just go to Medicare’s Plan Finder Tool at www.medicare. gov/find-a-plan, and type in your zip code or your personal information, the drugs you take and their dosages, and select the pharmacies you use and you’ll get a cost comparison breakdown for each plan available in your area. This tool also provides a fivestar rating system that evaluates each plan based on past customer service records, and suggests generics or older brand name drugs that can reduce your costs. It’s also important to keep in mind that when you’re comparing drug plans don’t judge a plan strictly by its monthly premium cost. Low-premium plans are often associated with higher prescrip-
Get help If you need some help with this or if you don’t have Internet access to compare the plans yourself, ask your kids, grandkids or a trusted computer-savvy friend to help you, or you can call Medicare at 800-633-4227 and a customer service representative will do it for you over the phone for free. Another resource that you can call on for help is your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), which provides free one-on-one Medicare counseling in person or over the phone. They also conduct seminars during the open enrollment period at various locations throughout each state. To find the contact information for your local SHIP visit shiptalk.org, or call the eldercare locator at 800-677-1116.

Doing it all for charity The belief that one should make an effort to leave a community better than the way one found it is a reason I enjoy doing benefits. Generally, these are stand-up performances for everything from Habitat to Humanity to Red Cross, Mobil Meals to women’s shelters and, recently, for a change, I’ve been delighted to offer book signings, donating back a substantial portion of sales. All of these things are enjoyable, fund great causes, and I look forward to them. Until my friend, PJ, called. “Pam, Kelley and I are putting on a benefit fashion show at the Piedmont Club in Spartanburg next week and were wondering if you would consider being involved.” “Well, sure, I love you guys.” I replied, making a vain attempt to multitask and finish an email

Wearing breeches and boots all summer, my legs should probably be checked for a vitamin D deficiency - they rarely see the sun. I had two days to sit just inside the shade of the barn in the early afternoon, sticking my legs out into the direct sun, turning my position slowly over, like a chicken on a spit, trying to rid them of the white glare that was capable of burning ants on the pavement. “Why not try those self-tanning lotions?” Paul suggested, walking past on the way to the tool shed. “And look like John Boehner?” I cried, angling a sheet of alumi(Continued on page 43)

sensitive to the delicate relationship between beauty and
decay, as well as our relationships to precious objects. Her work combines the opulence of faceted stones and gold with surfaces that reference provocative textures, colors and spontaneity found in natural growth and oxidation processes. A main focus of her work is the reinterpretation of the jewel – often by removing it, replacing it with the unexpected, or otherwise reincorporating in unique and captivating ways. The work blends precious and non-precious materials
with a feeling of authenticity.

A book review of God’s Hotel by Victoria Sweet God’s Hotel – A Doctor, a hospital, and a pilgrimage to the heart of medicine by Victoria Sweet, Riverhead Books, New York, 2012 Dr. Victoria Sweet has spent her working life in pursuit of the best possible healing methods for her patients at the Laguna Honda Hospital in San Francisco. This hospital was modeled on the European almshouse, or Hotel-Dieu (God’s Hotel), to provide care almost exclusively to impoverished patients, for which it is usually their last resort. Although a firm believer in modern medicine, Sweet has sought through extensive travel and research additional means to alleviate her patient’s suffering, including medieval methods,

primarily those of Hildegard von Bingen, the 12th century nun. During this process she attained a Ph.D. in history and social medicine with Hildegard as the subject of her thesis, and Laguna Honda made a painful and often frustrating transformation into a 21st century health care facility. This book weaves a colorful tapestry that illustrates what is best in the art of medicine from medieval times to the present. It records a 20-year journey, both physical and spiritual, during which the author searched for enlightenment in the art of caring including answers to the question, “What would Hildegard do?” She describes Hildegard’s methods, which Hildegard called “viriditas” (meaning green, or natural, healing), as the essence of caring through thoughtful observance of her patients, an
understanding of the natural processes of the body and, what is often lacking in today’s practice of medicine, time. A b i g a i l Z u g e r, M.D. gave “God’s Hotel” an excellent review in the New York Times in May and it is described by Dr. Oliver Sacks as, “A most important book, which raises fundamental questions about the nature of medicine in our time. It should be required reading.” G o d ’s H o t e l i s available at the Lanier Library. – article submitted by Frances Flynn

Q. Is there a way I can tell my
children some personal things outside of my estate plan? A. Yes, we have had clients be very creative in the ways they choose to communicate with their loved ones after they are gone. My own uncle left a very touching and inspirational letter to each of his sons. I have had clients leave detailed letters outlining their wishes for future generations, their values and philosophy of life. Several have even videotaped their messages to children and grandchildren. Many of these messages have been quite well done and much appreciated by the recipients.
