Landrum Farmers Market opening early and indoors by Samantha Hurst

Emily Annas wants to draw Landrum area residents’ interest in local produce now, not just when warmer weather brings thoughts of vine-ripe tomatoes. “I want to eat local year round and I’m hoping other people will too,” Annas said as she explained why she’s worked to launch a winter/spring farmers market this weekend, April 6 inside Ken’s Fine Meats and Seafood downtown. Landrum’s farmers market typically opens in June along N. Trade Avenue. Beginning this weekend, through the end of May, it will be held in Ken’s from 9:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. on Saturdays. The market will return to its outdoor location this summer and run through October. During the fall and early spring the market would be held indoors if people get on board, Annas said. “All of the jams, jellies and cheeses that people make for the market would make great holiday gifts as well so we hope this would work in the fall too,” Annas said. Two of the vendors already on board for this spring market include Mountain View Berry Farms in Landrum, owned by Joe Cunningham, and Moss Hollowe in Landrum, owned by Lynn Hurst. Cunningham will bring herbs and other produce, while Hurst sells items such as soaps, eggs and goat products, Annas said. Ken’s Meat and Seafood is

Polk ZBA approves permit for equine hospital Hospital proposed off Landrum Road by Leah Justice

A proposed equine hospital received approval last week following the Polk County Zoning Board of Adjustment approving a conditional use permit. The zoning board of adjustment met to hear evidence on March 19 and approved the permit last week. Bill Hay, representing BIAN LLC applied for a conditional use permit for an equine veterinary hospital on property near Landrum Road in the Green Creek Township. The property is located in the county’s Multiple Use (MU) zoning district and comprises of 10.01 acres. The zoning board approved the permit by a 4-1 vote, with members Betty Hill, Michael Axelrod, Frank Monterisi and chair Paul Weidman voting in favor and member Preston White voting against. The board heard testimony dur-

ing a quasi-judicial hearing from Hay as well as two nearby residents who testified against the proposed equine hospital. Hay currently owns an equine veterinary hospital in Columbus and is proposing to construct the new hospital to expand capacity and capability of the existing operation. The new hospital is proposed to include a hospital building for diagnostics, treatment and surgery; a stabling barn; two equestrian rings for riding and evaluation; exercise and turnout paddocks and a hay storage area and parking. All structures are proposed to be located on the north half of the property on its higher elevations and vehicle access is proposed to be through an existing right of way extending from Landrum Road. Hay testified that he intends for the facility to be a good neighbor. He said he is maintaining green space between the facility’s structures and adjacent properties,

including trees as a buffer. Hay also said the driveway would be oriented to face away from the other residence. The neighborhood around the property includes a number of equestrian uses, including an equine rehabilitation center, Hay said. Because of the surrounding uses, Hay told the zoning board he believes his equine veterinary hospital will increase property values in general, although he acknowledged that the adjacent property owner might believe differently. Adjacent property owner Elaine Martin testified against the permit saying the buildings would be visible from her backyard pool and detract from its current view. Martin also expressed concerns about traffic noise from trucks and trailers and said a rise in the roadway hill near her drive and the right of way access would create traffic safety concerns. Other concerns raised by Martin were that the

facility would create gravel road dust, that the hospital will lower the property value of her residence, would create potential for crime and animal waste smells. Glenn Cantrell also testified in opposition saying that obstructed view due to a roadway hill at the junction of Landrum Road and Collinsville Road would create traffic safety problems. Cantrell also expressed concerns that his driveway might be used as a turnaround point for large vehicle traffic missing the entrance to the facility and questioned why the access could not be achieved from Collinsville Road instead of Landrum Road. Cantrell said he had to shovel fertilizer residue away from his pool as a result of agriculture practice on neighboring properties and he’s had to add up to 100 lbs. of chlorine to his pool to neutralize the (Continued on page 11)

residues. Cantrell said he believes these problems will become worse because of fertilizer on pastures at the proposed facility. He also expressed concern about increased crime because of the people he believes are likely to be employed at the veterinary hospital. Hay said animal wastes would be temporarily stored on site in a covered dumpster and removed twice weekly. He also said in regards to visibility of buildings he

believes the height of the tallest structure will be approximately 20 ft. The permit was approved based on several factors that the majority of the board determined, including the buffer of trees and space between the facility and adjacent properties restricts fertilizer residue drift; vehicle traffic (four to 15 clients per day, plus staff) will not be excessive or problematic; Landrum Road is a major road designed to accommodate higher traffic volumes and fertilizer use is a common practice in the area.

Ceremony honors three Landrum state champion baseball teams by Mark Schmerling

When Travis Henson became head coach of Landrum’s varsity baseball team in 2001, he asked his father, long-time high school baseball coach, Jerry Henson, what he would need most to become a good coach. What attitude? What skills? “Dad told me that good players would make me a good coach,” smiled Henson. “I had great players,” remembered the younger Henson, who, with Jerry assisting, coached the Cardinals to state championships in 2002, 2005 and 2007. Both Jerry and Travis, and their players from those three memorable seasons, were honored during a pre-game ceremony last Thursday, March 28 at Landrum’s Steve Coley Field. Travis, who had played for Blue Ridge High School under Jerry, learned from one of the best. Jerry coached and taught at Blue Ridge for 42 years, narrowly missing state championships, but winning the Upper State championship. “He retired from Blue Ridge, just to help me (at Landrum),” said Travis. “We had a lot of fun.” So, apparently, did their players. From 2001 through 2008, Travis and Jerry won 182 games. In 2006, the Cardinals were Upper State champions, and narrowly missed capturing three consecutive state championships. “I got to watch every game you played,” current Landrum athletic director John Cann told

the Hensons. “It was a privilege and a thrill.” Cann presented the Henson duo with a huge plaque detailing some of their accomplishments, and sporting photographs of some thrilling moments in recent Landrum sport history. “We represent all those who have gone to this school before,” remarked Travis Henson, who recalled some big wins and great plays. “I can’t remember all that stuff, but I remember the men.” And many of those men showed up, where they received a warm welcome from both of the Hensons, and the crowd.

Henson described Landrum as “a community of good people.” He also remembered that current Cardinal head coach Ray McCallister gave him lots of advice. “It’s family,” continued Henson. “The Blue Ridge Community and the Landrum Community. It’s all about family.” After his success at Landrum, Travis Henson was offered a job coaching baseball at North Greenville University. In his second season there, his team won the national championship, and the next year, they were national runners-up. But his tenure at Landrum

provided something he missed. “I missed high school coaching and high school teaching,” recalled Henson, who, ironically, now coaches Blue Ridge, the team who defeated a young, up-and-coming Landrum team in March 28th’s game. “Be enthusiastic; be confident,” advised Travis Henson, who displays those qualities to an exorbitant degree. “It plays over to your players.” See pictures of guys from the winning teams and other photos from the event, and the Landrum vs. Blue Ridge game at our website www.tryondailybulletin.com.

it looked to me like those people were standing very near the curb. In the photo, they were not blocking the sidewalk, and they were not causing a disturbance. However, in another situation, the “coffeehouse crowd” takes up most of the sidewalk nearly every day.

Between them and the potted plants, it is an obstacle course that one must take in order to pass. I don’t mean to break up the group, just have them not take up most of the sidedwalk. To me, this is far worse than picketers standing near the curb. - Ann Cornay

In 2007 on March 21 in Al Anbar, Iraq, a rocket exploded near Marine Corporal Dustin Jerome Lee and his canine partner, Lex. Lee was severely injured and Lex, who had suffered burns along with shrapnel lodged in his back and spine, climbed on his bleeding partner to protect him from further harm. A few days later (Continued on page 21)

• Special Cases (continued from page 20)

two uniformed Marines arrived at the Lee family home in Quitman, Miss., to deliver the news of the Corporal’s death. After all was explained, Lee’s mother Rachel asked, “What about Lex?” Through communication Dustin had made the family aware of his partner. The Marines seemed puzzled, “We’re not sure,” they said. “We know he’s alive.” She knew of the bond Lex had with Dustin and after she learned what Lex did on the battlefield, she considered it a blood bond. “Lex was the last to see my child,” Rachel explained, “I’d like to have him at the funeral with me.” Despite being shaky from injuries, Lex, the Marine dog, made it to Dustin Lee’s funeral. Several top Marine Corps officers attended as Dustin’s younger brother, Camryn (then 13) played with Lex for awhile. After the service Rachel asked if Lex could be adopted for she did not want him to return to service and in harms way. Throughout 2007 Rachel pressed the Marines for an answer. She recalls being in a fog from all the red tape and regulations along with her grief. Her dad, husband and brothers all pursued the case and refused to be thwarted. In December 2007 the Lee’s phone rang and they were told, “Lex has been granted an early discharge,” they could take him home. They drove seven hours to the Marine Corps

base in Albany, Ga., where in a ceremony Lex was discharged from duty and presented to them. State police from Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi provided a rotating escort all the way home, as did motorcycle groups such as Christian Motorcyclists Association and the Patriot Riders. Today Lex is part of the Lee family and walks with Rachel everywhere. “It’s what Dustin would have wanted,” Rachel says, “just laying my hands on Lex is a healing experience.” I’m writing this tribute in the midst of Holy Week and it somehow seems appropriate to honor those who’ve sacrificed for us while celebrating He who made the ultimate sacrifice on our behalf. Last week we said goodbye to one of our own, Deputy K9, Trixie. For most of the 10 years of her life she performed her duties flawlessly. The bond that occurs between these service dogs and their handlers was evident as grown men wept at her ceremony. I too wept along with much of the community, though I did not know Deputy Trixie, I knew what she represented. We should all feel proud and blessed that one of these loyal and dedicated animals was among us. As for you Deputy, you’re off duty now, so I’d like to speak to you as a friend from afar. “Great joy girl, we will miss you, thank you so much for your service.” Thanks for listening.

How to choose a Medigap supplemental policy

Nobody does It better!

Dear Savvy Senior, I’ll be 65 in a few months – Medicare enrollment age – and am thinking about getting a Medicare supplemental policy to help cover things outside of Medicare. Can you give me some advice on choosing a plan? ~ Shopping Sam Dear Sam, If you’re planning to choose original Medicare for your health coverage, getting a supplemental policy too (also known as Medigap insurance) is a good idea if you can afford it, because it will help pay for things that aren’t covered by Medicare like copayments, coinsurance and deductibles. Here are some tips and tools to help you choose an appropriate plan for you. Medigap plans Medigap policies, which are sold by private health insurers, come in 10 standardized benefit packages labeled as the letters A, B, C, D, F, G, K, L, M and N. Plan F is the most popular, followed by plan C because they provide the most comprehensive coverage. Plans M and N, the two newest options, are cost sharing plans that have cheaper premiums, which make them appealing to healthier retirees who don’t use as much health care. For more information on the

different types of plans, call Medicare at 800-633-4227 and ask them to mail you a free copy of the “Choosing a Medigap Policy” guide (publication 02110), or see medicare.gov/pubs/pdf/02110. pdf. How to choose To choose a policy, consider your health status and family medical history. The differences among plans can be small and rather confusing so you’ll need to do some homework to pick a plan that works best for you. To help you choose, use the Medigap online search tool at medicare.gov, and click on “Supplements & Other Insurance” at the top of the page, then on “How to Compare Medigap Policies.” This tool will breakdown what each plan covers along with premium cost ranges, and lists the companies that offer them in your area. Since all Medigap policies with the same letter must cover the exact same benefits, you should shop for the cheapest policy. You’ll get the best price if you sign up within six months after enrolling in Medicare Part B. During this open-enrollment period, an insurer cannot refuse to sell you a policy or charge you more

because of your health. You also need to be aware of the three pricing methods, which will affect your costs. Medigap policies are usually sold as either “attained-age” policies, which are premiums that start low but increase as you get older. “Issueage” policies increase prices due to inflation, not age. These policies may start out a little more expensive than attainedage policies but generally have few rate increases over time. And “community-rate” policies, where everyone in an area is charged the same premium regardless of age. Issue-age and community-rated policies will usually save you money in the long-run. No drug coverage You also need to know that Medigap policies do not cover prescription drugs, so if you don’t have drug coverage, you need to consider buying a separate Medicare Part D drug plan too. You can

compare plans and cost at medicare.gov/find-a-plan. Also note that Medigap plans do not cover vision or dental care, hearing aids or long-term care, either. Alternative option Instead of getting original Medicare, plus a Medigap policy and a separate Part D drug plan, you could sign up for a Medicare Advantage plan that provides all-in-one coverage. These plans, which are sold by insurance companies, are generally available through HMOs and PPOs. To find and compare Advantage plans visit medicare.gov/find-a-plan. If you need help, contact your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), which provides free Medicare counseling. See shiptalk.org, or call 800-677-1116 to locate a counselor in your area.

While moms learn to improve their health, children ages 12 months and up will engage in age appropriate activities designed around the same learning concepts that mom hears. The programming is free, and has come together with the help of community partners, including

Park Ridge Health, Harmon Field and local businesses. These gatherings will take place on Wednesdays, April 24 – May 22 from 10:30 a.m. – noon at the cabin at Harmon Field.

It was then the dogs appeared, as if by magic, to inspect the pile of equipment on the ground. “Now you arrive!” I scolded, refolding the gear, “It might have been nice had you been on mouse patrol before this.”

Bonnie looked rather apologetic and Rosie, as is her way, deliberately mislead me by giving the appearance of sniffing around the trunk for prey before lunging forward and snatching up three candy wrappers and dashing away with them into the woods. Visions of vet bills from her ingesting or choking on them made me drop everything and run, curs-

ing, after her, but to no avail. Bonnie, bless her, remained obediently and decided to have a good sniff around the tack room. Because of their size, rats tend to be easier for her to catch, but this time it shouldn’t be too difficult for her to find these mice, who must now certainly be considered obese.

FENCE stall sale success despite chilly weather A chilly, overcast day did not deter the crowds at the Spring 2013 Foothills Equestrian Nature Center (FENCE) yard (actually stall) sale. A large group of sellers and buyers turned out to get good deals and get rid of extra stuff. Everything from antiques to clothes was eagerly bought and sold. The hot soups and drinks provided by TROT (Therapeutic Riding of Tryon) were very popular and the money raised will help fund this FENCE therapeutic riding program. TROT lesson volunteer Mary-Lu Elias of Campobello, said, “The cold weather certainly helped us to sell out of the hot beverages and our volunteer’s home-made soups and chili. Look for a bigger ‘menu’ when we do it again!” The next FENCE stall sale is set for Sept. 7, 2013 at the FENCE equestrian facility at 3381 Hunting Country Rd., Tryon. For more information call 828-859-9021 or check the FENCE website www. fence.org. The Foothills Equestrian Nature Center’s mission is to provide facilities and focus for education, recreation and preservation in nature studies and equestrian activities with the aim of enhancing these endeavors to enrich the quality of life for the community. – article submitted by Carrie Knox

Dispelling popular diet and exercise myths Today, I’d like to dispel some rather popular myths with regard to diet and exercise. Following some of these will not only hinder progress, but tend to confuse you as well. Myth No. 1: Don’t eat after 7 p.m. at night, because you’re usually just sitting around and the food you eat turns into fat. Remember, your gastrointestinal tract has to have ample blood flow for thorough digestion. Now there’s another socalled myth you probably heard at some time in you life…” Don’t swim within an hour of eating, or you could catch a cramp.” I used to certify lifeguards, and can tell you that’s true, because if you eat , then swim, blood pulls away from your GI tract to fuel your arms and legs, then digestion stops, and you could cramp.

Pinwheel Gardens raise awareness Colorful pinwheel garden’s are springing up in our area, the state and even the across the nation, and you may be asking yourself what’s it about? This year the pinwheel and pinwheel gardens are the symbol of child abuse and neglect prevention. The pinwheel gardens symbolize the stable, healthy childhood all children deserve and serve as a reminder to adults that we need to ensure our children’s healthy development and growth. Our police, sheriff and deputies, firefighters and first responders, our teachers, daycare providers, social workers and health care providers are all trained and educated on how to recognize and report abuse and neglect of our children and unfortunately they see way too much of it.

Publisher’s Notebook by Betty Ramsey

Let’s partner with these agencies, by giving them our support, to make a difference and stop abuse and neglect before it starts. Preventing child abuse and neglect means helping all parents have the knowledge, skills, resources and support required to provide the safe, stable, nurturing and healthy environment all children need to thrive. Next week Child Abuse Awareness Day will be held April 13 at the Polk County Recreation Center (beside Polk Middle School). Everyone is invited, parents will learn fire safety, how

to protect children on the Internet, how to report abuse and meet local organizations working to keep our kids safe and healthy. Spread the news! The Child Abuse Awareness Day is sponsored by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, Columbus, Saluda and Tryon Police Departments; Columbus, Green Creek, Mill Spring and Tryon Fire Departments; Saluda and Sunny View Fire and Rescue, the Department of Social Services, Polk County Health Department, St. Luke’s Hospital and Steps to HOPE. Look for more pinwheel gardens springing up in our area next week and remember to support your local agencies as they work to support you and our most precious jewels - our children.

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.
