The cupola that sits atop the Polk County Courthouse had to be removed after recent winds caused the material to flap. Interim Polk County Manager Marche Pittman updated commissioners during a Jan. 7 meeting that the spire was waving in the wind so he had it removed. Pittman said he is talking to county cooperative extension director John Vining who is communicating with an architect to find a more suitable material for repairs. In the meantime, the county has capped the cupola until repairs can be made. (photo submitted)

Local resident, Trunk, named to Second Wind Hall of Fame Jim Trunk recently became a member of the Second Wind Hall of Fame, having been nominated by Thermal Belt Habitat for Humanity. Second Wind provides recognition for retirees 60 years and older for outstanding volunteer work in area organizations that exemplify the concept that retirement need not be the end of a productive life of service to others and their community, but a “second wind” of opportunity to serve mankind. Jim and his wife, MaryBeth, have lived in the area since 1997. They moved here from Michigan where Jim was comptroller for Michigan Bell. They have three children and 10 grandchildren. Since retiring, Jim Trunk has been very active volunteering
in various community organizations including Thermal Belt Habitat for Humanity, where he has been on the construction crew for 14 years. He has also served on the Tryon Fine Arts Center Board of Directors, the Polk County Community Foundation Finance and Education Committees, and is past President of the Children’s Resource Outreach of South Carolina at Cliffs of Glassy. He volunteers as a Heritage School tutor in Travelers Rest and is an active member of the Knights of Columbus. In his spare time, Jim Trunk enjoys golf, home improvement projects and is an avid soccer fan. – article submitted by Barbara Clegg

Meth lab busted in Tryon by Leah Justice

The Tryon Police Department uncovered a small methamphetamine lab on June 10 and arrested two individuals for manufacturing the substance. Angela White Ross, 45, and Brian Paul Blackwell, 39, of 90 Beaver St., Tryon were arrested and each charged with manufacturing methamphetamine, maintaining a dwelling/place/ vehicle for a controlled substance, conspiracy and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to Tryon Police Chief Jeff Arrowood. Arrowood said a tip led to an investigation and his department along with the Columbus Police Department executed a search warrant on the home during the evening of Thursday, June 10. The N.C. State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) was also called to investigate. In total, officers discovered four plastic bottles used to make

lory Dr., Landrum. In October 2012, the mother of a teen girl filed a report with the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office, which stated Mullins had been sexually abusing her daughter since 2006. The mother said on Friday, Oct. 5 she picked her daughter up from school and the juvenile proceeded to tell her that Mullins, who is related to the girl, began sexually

meth and other items such as butane, chemicals such as drain cleaner and pseudoephedrine, according to Arrowood. Meth labs continue to be discovered in Polk County with recent ones being classified as small labs for personal use. Local sheriff officials and Arrowood said small labs are becoming more common due to it being easier to make meth than purchase it. In 2012, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office discovered 10 total meth labs. Ross and Blackwell each received $50,000 bonds and were both still being held in custody as of last Friday, Jan. 11. An outstanding bond for Ross was also discovered from 2004 for a worthless check, Arrowood said, so Ross was given an additional $300 bond. Ross and Blackwell each had first appearances in court last Friday, Jan.11. assaulting her in 2006 and that the last occurrence happened Aug. 3, 2012. The report states that the victim told investigators that Mullins touched her inappropriately and had sexual intercourse with her. Mullins has been a custodian for the Polk County School System for almost a decade. The system has not said if it will take any action against Mullins. A photo of Mullins was not available at the time this report was published.

National trend of increased gun sales seen locally by Samantha Hurst
A national discussion of gun regulation and the right to bare arms recently spawned a jump in sales according to one gun shop owner. The increase was seen locally as much as it was seen on a national level, said Foothills Gun Gallery owner Brian Ross. “We’ve been so busy that we haven’t had a chance to sit down and actually look at the numbers – how much more business we’ve done than last year – but we have definitely seen an increase in sales,” Ross said. Ross noted the surge was related to a combination of two things. He said some people were purchasing Christmas presents and using Christmas money but others were concerned about restrictions for gun ownership becoming more stringent in the near future. Several customers discussed
with Ross their desire to purchase a gun because of President Obama’s reelection and the fear of stricter gun regulations after the school shooting in Newtown, Conn. Ross said his Columbus shop saw an increase over the last month primarily in the sale of ammunition, pistols and of Armalite Rifles or ARs. “[Stricter regulation] It’s on the back of our minds but we have to keep going right now and see what happens down the pipe,” Ross said. Ross said Foothills Gun Gallery from the beginning intended to fill a gap in the area by providing more than just guns to hunting enthusiasts and outdoorsmen. The shop also sells hunting gear, archery equipment and even outerwear. To find out more about county or state gun regulations, contact your county sheriff’s office.

Carter Thumm and Cayden Herr, students in Mrs. Maneen’s third-grade class at Saluda School, use whisper phones to practice reading skills and fluency. The Toobaloo phones, provided through a grant from the Polk County Community Foundation, allow students to hear the sound of their voice amplified through the earpiece. The students are thrilled to use the phones to improve their reading skills. (photo submitted by Cari Maneen)
