Heart wreaths, quilted hearts and Valentine cards

LaurelHurst residents enjoy doing “Crafts with Jennifer.” Every month, they make seasonal items to decorate their apartments or to give as gifts. This month, they made heart wreaths, quilted hearts and Valentine cards. “My door looks beautiful,” said Pat Armistead after hanging her wreath on it. Gail Polaski gave her wreaths to her two sisters who live in the area. “They couldn’t believe that I made it myself,” said Gail.

• Medical responders (continued from page 1)

Keith Holbert voted in favor of the change while commissioner Ray Gasperson voted against.

Commissioner Pack said he thinks the county needs to allow more people to volunteer with no restrictions. If someone wants to start as a medical responder and move up to an EMT, they can, Pack said, or stay as a medical responder.

“Everybody has their place,” Pack said. “Are we going to say we want the best care at the hospital so we don’t want any more nurses? You can have trained personnel in the back and have somebody who wants to be a medical responder drive (the ambulance).”

Polk formerly had a higher skill set requiring EMT certification, which is above the minimum that the state allows. The change

approved means the county will be going with state standards.

Commissioner Gasperson questioned why the board would be making that call rather than the new medical director.

“I just question that this board has the medical expertise to make that call,” said Gasperson. “I just don’t feel this is appropriate. I don’t want you to tie the hands of a medical director.”

Pack said the county is looking for another medical director and this will give him or her direction on what the county wants.

The board recently fired medical director Dr. Allison Owens, who agreed to stay on until Feb. 15. The county can operate under the state for another month, giving the county until March 15 to hire a new director. Allowing medical responders won’t take place until a new medical direc(Continued on page 5)

tor is hired.

“That’s the reason I want this to happen now,” Pack said.

“We’re about to hire a new medical director. I want to say this is what we want. Do you want to come work for us?”

Polk EMS Director Sandra Halford said by law a medical responder’s responsibility is to drive the ambulance and assist an EMT. She said it is up to the medical director what level they can participate.

Halford said there was a standard set in Polk County where at the time the way to get a medical responder title was to fail the EMT test.

She said most volunteers in the county want to continue their education and become EMTs. She also said there are approximately 60 volunteers in the EMS system while years ago there were 40 volunteers.

Commissioner Owens said it sort of sounds like the hospital makes the choice, not the county.

“You’re saying if they don’t have the endorsement of the hospital then we don’t want them?” said Owens. “They may not have the hospital’s endorsement but it may be the only choice we’ve got.”

Gage asked who is responsible for EMS. “We are,” other commissioners said.

“Then we should make the choice.”

Gasperson suggested the county asked Dr. Owens to stay on another 90 days then have a committee established to discuss some of the issues.

Commissioners Dr. Owens said Owens was given that choice and she was welcome to stay on.

“She chose the 15th (of February) deadline, not us,” Owens said.

“She was given the opportunity to stay on until we found someone else,” said Owens.

Letter to the Editor

Chocolate Drop

Got News?

email us at news@tryondailybulletin.com

To the editor: Leah Justice’s article “Chocolate Drop discussion stirs debate” of Feb. 12, 2013 is a good example of her consistently professional and objective coverage of issues important to Polk County.

Although I have been away from Polk County for the last ten weeks and not been in a position to attend meetings of the commissioners or the planning board, I have followed coverage of Polk County’s issues through the Tryon Daily Bulletin’s on-line service, and have been grateful for Justice’s reportage.

Mitch Stott’s version of the history of the Chocolate Drop disaster is familiar to me, as he expressed the same statements to me or my husband Eric when either of us had conversations with Mr. Stott as we stood at the foot of Chocolate Drop Mountain during LGI’s on-going development activities that destroyed the mountain.

I commend those who spoke so eloquently at the Feb. 4 commissioners’ meeting.

Renée McDermott addressed the issue professionally, as she always does, while at the same time challenging the morality of LGI’s decision to go ahead with development plans when they were aware of the consequences.

Lisa Krolak expressed my sentiments exactly: the grading work made my heart drop as well.

David Weiss made valuable observations and suggestions about how Polk County might proceed in discussion with a view to coming up with local regulations and rebuilding Chocolate Drop.

Thank you all for continuing to monitor issues important to Polk County by attending meetings and staying informed.

I am one of those residents who live at the foot of the mountain, and have probably incurred a loss of value of my property.

From the outset, however, I have been more concerned about what such irresponsible development portends for the future of our beloved Polk County. It is my hope that we might yet work together to ensure an economically viable and beautiful Polk County.

Tarradiddle returns to Tryon’s Super Saturday March 16 Ah, Tarradiddle! The mere mention of the Tarradiddle Players sends festival-goers scrambling for tickets at Tryon’s Super Saturday, this year on March 16.

And this year, Tarradiddle will be delighting children of all ages with “Brother Rabbit Spinning Free,” to play at the Episcopal Church Parish Hall at 10:45 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.

This multicultural production was inspired by people who have made the Carolinas their home, and was written specifically for the Children’s Theatre of Charlotte’s Tarradiddle Players.

Brother Rabbit is the quickest, cleverest, wittiest rabbit there ever was, but Slippery Fox sees him as one thing and one thing only: dinner. Brother Rabbit’s only hope of escape is to distract Slippery Fox with irresistible stories, such as “Martin the Magnificent” from Central America, “The Fisherman Prince” from the Vietnamese, “The Very First Fire” from the Cherokee, and “Lookout Mountain” from the Gullah.

Many adults in the Super Saturday audience will remember the Brer Rabbit stories of their youth, which were derived from the trickster storytelling traditions in Africa, along with age-old children’s stories of the Creek and

Brother Rabbit has his work cut out for him avoiding Slippery Fox! (photo by Donna Bise/Children’s Theatre of Charlotte)

Cherokee Indians of Georgia, the Carolinas and Alabama.

A perennial favorite at Super Saturday, in recent years Tarradiddle has worked its unique magic with the likes of “Comme-

dia Princess and the Pea,” “Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel,” “Commedia Cinderella” and “Commedia Pied Piper.” And now “Brother Rabbit Spinning Free.”

A ticket order form can be

found at www.tryonsupersaturday.com, along with information on all the performers coming March 16.

She performed and taught for 20 years in Manhattan and Brooklyn before returning to her southern roots to start a career in nonprofit management.

She has held positions at St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation and Hospice of the Carolina Foothills,

and currently serves on the Rotary Club of Tryon Foundation Board.

She enjoys performing when time permits.

This will be the first piano recital played on the newly rebuilt 1933 Steinway L grand piano purchased recently by Holy Cross for its sanctuary.

this week an unusual phenomenon occurs in the world of religion and romance. Both ash Wednesday and Valentine’s day occur this week, on Wednesday and thursday. the coincidence of these dates happens very infrequently. although ash Wednesday was followed by Valentine’s day on thursday in 1991 and 2002, the last occurrence before that was 1929, an ominous year. the next time this coincidence will happen will be 2097. now you might wonder what possible significance this might have. i have given this a good deal of thought. it is true that we are all anatomically akin to dust and ashes. and it is also true that a goodly number romantic relationships regularly do go up in smoke, so to speak. But somehow ashes and romance just don’t seem to go together. i wish the coincidence had to do

with chocolate, but alas, a lot of people who take the ashes thing really seriously also give up chocolate for Lent. fortunately few people give up romantic relationships, at least not specifically for Lent anyway. maybe the significance lies in the background of ash Wednesday and Valentine’s day. Valentine’s day has its roots in the legend of St. Valentine, an early Christian martyr known for his acts of kindness and love. the romantic elements that we think of today were added in the 15th century. ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a season of fasting, repentance, moderation and spiritual discipline. the name ash Wednesday comes from the custom of using ashes to symbolically mark one’s forehead with a cross as a sign of human frailty. So both days (continued on page 9)

So it’s still not too late to do something nice for someone you love. and even though ash Wednesday is over, Lent does continue for 40 days. and come to think about it what better form of intentional spiritual discipline than to make a conscientious intentional effort to reach out to those you love and care about, and tell them that you care, better yet “American Cuisineor with a Twist” Corner of Peak St. & Hwy. show them. if you and i did 828-894-2440 108 in Columbus that regularly, even for a few days, much less 40, there’s no telling what would happen. i don’t know about you, but i am going to get started today.

On blueback lakes you need to try this first thing, on lakes with gizzard or threadfins, the afternoon bite should be best.

This warming trend pattern can be very hit or miss, so I prefer to fish for deeper fish.

I remember long-time professional bass fisherman Larry

Nixon saying many years ago, “there are always some fish shallow.” and I’ve also heard and believe to some extent that shallower fish are easier to catch.

That said though deeper fish are usually more stable, less affected by fronts, and more consistent in their behavior.

PAC’s first spring hike goes to Ashmore Heritage Preserve on Feb. 22 Join the Pacolet Area Conservancy (PAC) on Friday, Feb. 22, for a 4-mile, moderate hike at Ashmore Heritage Preserve, a South Carolina Department of Natural Resources managed Preserve, for the first hike of PAC’s Spring Hiking Series.

PAC Land Protection Specialist, Pam Torlina, will lead the hike, an out and back with a loop. The hike starts on the newly opened Mountain Bridge Passage Trail (MBPT), meandering through a mature forest.

After entering the preserve, the MBPT will lead hikers along a cascading stream and to a beautiful waterfall. Hikers will back track and pick up a loop trail that leads around Lake Wattacoo, a man-made lake at the base of Campbell Mountain/ the Blue Wall escarpment. Then hikers will follow a stream back to the MBPT to the start. The preserve features a natural bog,

which creates favorable habitat for rare plants and other species unique to the region.

If you are interested in attending the PAC hike at Ashmore Heritage Preserve, please contact the PAC office to sign up by phone at 828-859-5060 or email, landprotection@pacolet.org.

Hikers will be meeting at the Gowensville Spinx at 8:30 a.m. to check in and start the approximately 45-minute drive to the trail head. Hikers should wear appropriate clothing and footwear; bring a bag lunch and/or snack and plenty of water. Please be sure to bring any personal medication that you may require. Hikers should be prepared to return to the area by 3 p.m., at the latest. In case of inclement weather, please contact the PAC office by 8:15 a.m. on the day of the hike to see if the hike will take place.

• PAC hike tected by the Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy.

PAC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit conservation organization (land trust) founded in 1989 to protect and conserve the area’s natural resources (PAC’s mission). PAC works with area landowners to ensure

the long-term protection of their property through voluntary conservation easements (agreements) which enable landowners to maintain ownership of their property, preserving precious natural resources (open lands, forests, wildlife habitat, scenic vistas, farmland, stream banks, etc.) and potentially obtain significant federal, state and local tax benefits. PAC’s

vision is a community living and growing in harmony with our natural heritage and a goal to provide a legacy that will endure and be valued by generations to come. PAC works diligently to provide leadership to encourage conservation and provide education programs emphasizing responsible land use practices to help – save the places you love.
