Moonshiners and firefighters band together to help Texas town by Mark Schmerling

Polk County is more than 1,000 miles from the town of West, Texas, but distance was no match for residents here. At an April 22 benefit at the Columbus Fire Department, community members pulled together for the West Fire Department, of which, several volunteers died responding to a recent explosion at a fertilizer plant. Columbus Fire Department officials collected equipment, water and non-perishable food, plus money, for their peers. Sponsoring the benefit, and helping draw local residents, were stars of the Discovery Channel’s “Moonshiners” reality program, including Moonshiners Tim Smith, Josh Owens, Bootleg Bill and Cutie Pie. At least 200 individuals moved through a long line to meet cast members and leave donations. Columbus and other local fire departments donated equipment, which they no longer needed, to replace what was lost in the Texas calamity.

• Saluda

(continued from page 1)

As of April 19, the city was owed a total of $5,473 in both active and inactive past due bills. Saluda discussed its approximate $23,000 worth of owed utility bills during its April 8 meeting after resident Karen Bultman questioned if the city was following its policy. The city’s $23,000 in past due bills included inactive accounts that were past the three years the state allows the city to collect on water bills and past the four years the state allows the city to collect on sewer bills. What was left includes approximately $3,000 in inactive accounts, or accounts that no longer receive service. Saluda City Clerk Monica Pace said the $5,473 list also includes a few active accounts that have had service suspended for non-payment and are awaiting final billing and the application of the deposit money held. Pace said the list of past due

amounts is a moving target as notice shall inform the customer payments are being made. The that service has been ordered terdelinquent amounts include charges minated and provide the anticipated for water, sewer, garbage and late date of termination.” The policy goes on to say if a bill fees.

longer in service. Saluda commissioners met for budget work sessions earlier this week and discussed possible changes to its policy. Discussions particularly included the possibility of shortening the time of disconnect and raising the deposit for renters from the current $100 to $150. Homeowners have a deposit of $50 inside city limits and $75 outside city limits with commissioners not discussing changing those rates due to most of the issues coming from renters. Commissioners plan to further discuss changes during their May meeting. Saluda joins Tryon in struggling with collecting past due utility bills. Tryon is also considering changing its policy after recently having approximately $38,000 in overdue accounts and at one point over the past couple years had a $99,000 outstanding balance. Tryon agreed this month to purge amounts no longer collectable and to actively pursue the amounts overdue.

Landrum Farmers Market looks to grow, gets questions from business owner by Samantha Hurst

Landrum resident Emily Annas launched a spring market indoors at Ken Fine Meats and Seafoods in early April. The market is open every other weekend, with the next one on May 4. Summer market manager Joe Cunningham plans to open the Landrum outdoor market May 18. 3Annas cols. X there 8” were 40-plus said people at the second market held this season. The market opens at 9:30 a.m. and runs until 1 p.m. Vendors sell items from breads to chocolates to shitake mushrooms, as well as eggs, produce, baked goods and crafts, such as birdhouses. Paul Ayers, owner of Ayers Market, however, approached Landrum City Council members at their April 9 meeting with concerns about how the Landrum Farmers Market is run. “I’m not against the farmers market but there have to be some controls,” Ayers said. “I had one woman come to my store who told me her son bought things at Columbia and brought it to our market to sell.” Cunningham assured Ayers and council that controls do exist. “We have a rule that you have to produce what you bring and they are subject to being visited at their farm,” Cunningham said. “We have turned people away – I turned one guy away last year who was trying to sell watermelons in May.” Cunningham said the reason the market in Landrum is so popular is because everything is local and fresh. Ayers said he is also concerned that the farmers are allowed to sell without a permit. “To me that is cutting my throat, especially mine, because it affects me more than anybody in town,” Ayers said. “There should be some sort of fee because I pay my business license and so do other businesses.” Cunningham said the market at its height sees around 400 people who normally wouldn’t come into town. He said he wouldn’t want to deter farmers from coming by charging them a fee because then

fewer people would come to town. “The more people you have the more people you are going to draw in,” council member Jan Horton said. There is currently no fee for farmers to participate in the market. Mayor Robert Briggs suggested

charging a nominal fee for farmers to come. Spartanburg and Polk County markets require farmers to pay a fee on either a weekly or seasonal basis, Cunningham said. “You know farmers – we don’t make any money. I tell people this is a community service and that is

all it is,” Cunningham said. The base fee for business licenses is $35 a year, Landrum City Administrator Steve Wolochowicz said. He suggested, and Cunningham agreed for the participating farmers to pay the fee collectively.

The Adopt-a-Highway Program is something the Polk County Appearance Commission says it is proud to support and thanks the many individuals and organizations that are a part of the program, as well as the many people who work to clean their neighborhoods without being a part of a program. “This is ‘pride of place’ in action,” said appearance commission chair Joe Cooper. “If we would just take care of our roadside garbage and litter, our county would be

me so much of when I first met Monty, my precious doggie angel. True to his word I can attest that in the nearly four months since that encounter no one has heard neither a single bark of anger nor an ounce of aggression toward any living thing. On the contrary, Soldier is friendly and loving to everyone. For the past three and a half months he has been at Dogwood Farms where

His friendly and loving demeanor is infectious and when this beautiful boy looks at you with the most expressionable eyes I’ve seen, you can’t help but melt. I’m well aware that there are so many others out there like Soldier, but I promise you that this boy is super special; ask anyone who’s met him. I love sweet Soldier with ev-

erything I have and I’ve kept my promise as has he but I’ve run out of options and places to turn. I have turned to the Lord in prayer and now I turn to all of you. If you or anyone you know are interested in the companion of a lifetime, please contact me or anyone else who knows him and I’ll make that happen. I think of Soldier as nothing but a great big heart looking for a body to house it and Lord knows, “a heart is a terrible thing to waste.” Thanks for listening.

make a profit rather than pay for removal service. There are many options for agricultural, economic growth in Polk County, but most of those are not simple. To start a sustainable, locally beneficial business will take knowledge and perseverance, and willingness to work for little or no profit for the beginning years. It would be so much easier to entice some big corporation to come to the area that would hire 100 people right off the bat. Later, when that corporation envisions more profit elsewhere, it can simply move on

to another needy community, leaving us with whatever the corporation does not want to take. Seeking economic development is somewhat like looking for someone else to solve our problems. Solving our own problems, using the resources that we have right here, takes considerably more hard work, knowledge, and imagination. Us older folks are very quick to accuse younger generations of not being able to work hard, but maybe that finger should be pointing back at us. Many of us were able to walk into a good

corporate job that took care of us throughout our working career, leaving us with a pension. It’s not so easy nowadays. Corporations focus on maximum profits for their shareholders, often at the expense of the local community. Is that the sort of development that we really want? It’s not just about jobs; it’s also about quality of life. I think that we can have both. Sustainable, low impact development is harder to accomplish, but it will benefit our community much more in the long run than the ‘quick fix.’

Billy Jonas, Parents Choice Award-winning performer, will be presented on Sunday, May 12 at 3 p.m. as part of Tryon Fine Arts Centers Family Series. Ticket prices for this event do not cover the cost of the event and TFAC’s ability to offer quality performances for the community depends on donations to the annual fund. For information or to donate, call 828859-8322 or visit www.tryonarts.org. (photo submitted)

Tryon Fine Arts Center launches annual fund campaign The Board of Directors of Tryon Fine Arts Center has launched the Annual Fund Campaign with a goal of raising $75,000 needed to support the programming and operations for the 44-year-old arts organization. The bold campaign, launched during the Jeremy Kittel Band concert on April 18, will conclude following the Steep Canyon Rangers concert Friday, May 17. This year’s drive, headed by TFAC Director of Development Rebecca Barnes, focuses on creating funding for the diverse programming and innovative events for all ages in the community. “Right now at TFAC there are art classes for teens, music classes on and off campus for preschoolers, writing workshops for adults, visual arts in our gallery, sculpture on our

campus, Grammy winning performances on our stage and more exciting programs in the planning stages that will benefit and entertain the community,” said Barnes. “The list goes on and on because of the many donors who have been generous in helping us get halfway to our goal.” Although admission or tuition is charged for many events at TFAC, the annual fund exists to support the ongoing operational costs of running the organization. Tryon Fine Arts Center provides opportunities and facilities for the entire Carolina Foothills community in order to advance experience and participation in the arts.

We are still celebrating her life. “What you do for God will last.”

early April was a pretty good one, and if they weren’t harassed too much by anglers catching them on their run, they should have had a good spawn going by the temps and water levels. The crappie seemed to be late but on par too. Opening day of trout season didn’t sound all that great on Green River or Broad River. I haven’t heard of anyone catching limits, but the state usually does a good job stocking both rivers throughout the spring and early summer, so hopefully fishing should improve there. But thankfully there is always the delayed harvest section of the Green River, still one of the best programs, in my opinion, the state has done in

recent years. Most of the area lakes are fishing well, Wylie, Hickory, Hartwell; it’s a long list. This time of year it’s more important to just be fishing, than to worry about where to fish. As always, think about the years ahead. Handle all fish carefully, quickly, and return them all. They each have a role to play in their annual spawning ritual. Give them a couple of months to raise their brood, and then keep some for the frying pan. And I can’t stress the importance of releasing the big female brooders. These fish have the genes to grow more big fish. And a vast majority of people I have questioned agree that big fish don’t eat as well, and a photo or replica is better than a true mount, so please, let ‘em swim!

FHS encourages donations for Sacha Fund More than five years ago, Wayne and Ann Inks provided the seed money to Foothills Humane Society (FHS) to begin a fund in honor of their pet dog, Sacha. Every year they generously replenish the fund. They have one stipulation: use the fund to train dogs at the shelter and enhance their ability to find forever homes. Often the stories that precede the animal’s acceptance at the shelter are difficult. The history of the animal can lead to behavioral issues. FHS makes every effort to rehabilitate all special needs animal. For special dogs, the Sacha Fund is critical to success. Training by a variety of local dog

specialists assures that these dogs learn to trust adults and children, as well as interact well with Goodie other dogs and cats. In some cases, dogs are sent “off-site” from the shelter to work intensely with these specialists. They are given every opportunity to improve any behavioral problems, and this sets the stage for successful adoptions. FHS is an open-admission (Continued on page 32)

A couple of people even tried eating all of that with chopsticks. After a yummy lunch, residents walked down the street for some shopping at The Mast General Store. One resident, Vera Benson, said, “It’s always fun to try something new. Why not? That’s what keeps life interesting.” – article submitted by Jennifer Thompson

Local Korean War veterans honored April 28 Members of Chapter 265 of the North Carolina Korean War Veterans Association will visit Lebanon United Methodist Church on Sunday, April 28, to honor Medal of Honor recipient, Bryant H. Womack, and the other veterans buried in the cemetery. The program will begin with services by Pastor Ned Owens, followed by the NC Korean War Veterans Association program. The main speaker will be Captain Young Chang Ha, retired chaplain

from the U.S. Navy. Captain Ha, who was born in North Korea near the border with China, will tell about his childhood and how his father gathered the family together at the start of the war and, traveling in the dark of night to evade capture by the North Korean soldiers, fled to South Korea. He was only a small child when the family left their home. He will tell about his growing up in free South Korea and his chance

to come to the United States, his entry into the U.S. Navy, the Seminary and his retirement as a Navy Chaplain. Everyone is welcome to join us in this special, moving ceremony beginning at 11 a.m. Lebanon United Methodist Church is located at 2330 Big Level Road, Mill Spring, N.C., 28756. Chapter 265 of the North Carolina Korean War Veterans Association was formed in June 2002. One of their projects is to visit the burial

Big band plus big chorus equals swing April 28 When Les Brown’s familiar “Sentimental Journey” with a full chorus is followed by the swinging instrumental, Benny Goodman’s “Sing, Sing, Sing” you will know that you are in for an exciting and memorable afternoon. Nostalgic music of the ‘40s featuring our own Community Chorus relives the big band era along side the 18 piece Ol’ 74 Jazz Band and it will be delivered live on Sunday, April 28 at the Polk County High School at 3 p.m. The program will combine chorus and band on Duke Ellington favorites “Take the A Train,” “Mood Indigo,” “Satin Doll” and “It Don’t mean a Thing” and you can watch and hear the rhythmic and challenging “Bah- dot –doot - dot –dah- bah- doo- dot” as only can be done by a full chorus. Also, on the program is a tribute to Cole Porter including “In the Still of the Night”, “Lets

Fall in Love” and “Night and Day.” “Stardust” will bring back the memory of Frank Sinatra and the Pied Pipers, which will feature the romantic solo by Chorus member Eddie Andrews and a backup group.

A panorama of George Gershwin’s most popular songs will bring an upbeat finish to the program. The Community Chorus is under the direction of Lesley Bush, accompanied by Pam McNeil.

The Ol’ 74 Jazz Band is directed by Seth Carson. All ticket proceeds go to the Rotary Club of Tryon Scholarship Fund. – article submitted by Art Brown

How to avoid identity theft when you travel Dear Savvy Senior, What tips can you recommend to help retirees guard against identity theft when traveling? My sister and her husband had their identity stolen while on vacation last year, and I want to make sure I’m protecting myself on my trip to Europe next month. ~ Paranoid Pam Dear Pam, Most people don’t realize that when you travel, your risk of identity theft increases. Here are a few simple steps you can take to protect yourself while you’re away. Alert your credit card companies: Before you leave, let them know when, where and how long you’ll be traveling. This helps their fraud departments stop bogus charges if your card is used where you’re not. And, it reduces the risk that your card will be frozen when you use it far from home. Secure your mail: Get a friend or neighbor to pick up your mail every day while you’re gone, or stop your mail at the post office. A full mailbox can be very inviting to identity thieves and burglars. Also, stop the newspaper, and don’t broadcast your travel plans on social networking websites. Clean out your wallet: Pickpockets love tourist destinations, so take only essential identifiers, like your driver’s license, and just two credit cards – carry one with you, and lock the other one in a hotel room safe in case your wallet

Savvy Senior gets stolen. Also, don’t ever carry your Social Security card in your wallet, and leave your checkbook home too. It’s also a good idea to make copies of your plane tickets, hotel reservations, passport, driver ’s license and credit cards, and leave them with a friend or relative who you can call in an emergency. And make a list of contact numbers of your credit card providers so you can call them if your pocket gets picked. Protect your smartphone: These are gold mines for ID thieves. If you use a smartphone, protect your personal information by using the security settings to lock your screen with a password. Then install a GPS location tracking app on your phone such as “Where’s My Droid” for Android devices, or if you’re an iPhone user, activate the built in “Find My iPhone” app. You can also set up your phone so that if it does get stolen, you can remotely erase its data. Your wireless carrier may offer this service, and many security apps include this feature. Use safe ATMs. If you need cash while you’re away, use ATMs that are located at banks. These are more secure than stand-alone ATMs which can be rigged to capture your card information that thieves can steal. Safeguard your hotel: Never leave your wallet, passport,

credit cards or other valuables lying around your hotel room. Either keep them with you or lock them up in the hotel safe. And if you have a laptop computer or tablet, get a locking device that lets you lock it to something fixed in the room. You local computer store can help you with this. Be careful with hotel computers and free Wi-Fi networks: Don’t access your personal accounts or disclose any of your financial information on hotel or other public computers or on public Wi-Fi networks. You never know what identitystealing software is at work. Freeze your credit: A temporary freeze denies access to your credit history, so ID thieves can’t open accounts in your name while you’re away, but it doesn’t stop you from using your credit card. To set up a freeze, contact each of the three credit bureaus – Equifax (equifax.com, 800-685-1111), Experian (experian.com, 888397-3742) and TransUnion (transunion.com, 877-3228228). It typically costs around $10 per credit bureau to freeze your account, and $10 to unfreeze it. If you’re going to be gone for an extended period of time this is a good extra protection. 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.
