current director Lynn Sprague’s resignation.

Perhaps the most personal endorsement of hiring a director came from Paige Paris, who was the last speaker and said she thought commissioners should hear from a “young Polk County farmer.”

Paris said that Sprague came to her and her husband Christopher a week after they moved here and put the couple in touch with people he knew needed the skills they had.

“Christopher and I pruned an entire muscadine vineyard by ourselves because Lynn put us in touch with someone who needed that done,” Paris said. “I don’t know how to make it more clear how badly we young farmers need someone in this county to put us in touch with the elders … so we can grow into the community we all came here to support.”

Paris said there are many people in Polk County that hold land and would love to see it produced.

Audience members applaud and stand after commissioners say they do plan to maintain the agricultural economic development director position after Lynn Sprague’s departure. (photo by Leah Justice)

“There are young people out there begging for your help to help our entire community, so please make sure this is on top of your list,” Paris said, “ because without Lynn, Chris and I could not have

made it until May.” Polk County Board of Commissioner Chair Michael Gage opened the meeting, held at the Mill Spring Agricultural Center, by saying it’s not his board’s intention to recreate

the wheel.

“On behalf of the board of commissioners it is our intent to gain a better understanding of where (Continued on page 4)

• Ag director (continued from page 3)

agriculture in Polk County is now and where your boards see it going in the future,” said Gage. “We greatly seek and appreciate your wisdom and experience, as we work toward a partnership of trust and understanding of each other.

It is not this board’s intention to recreate the wheel, but instead we wish to take that wheel and build upon it - creating a stronger agriculture industry in Polk County.”

The meeting included presentations from the Polk Soil and Water Conservation District and the Polk Farmland Preservation Board, including discussions on where those boards see agriculture in Polk County’s future. Current agricultural economic development director Sprague resigned recently after serving as the department’s first director for the past five years.

Sprague has been credited with creating an agriculture momentum in Polk County that has become a model throughout the state.

Farmland preservation board chair Doug Harmon said from the start, the whole program in Polk County was like plowing new ground.

“Lynn Sprague hit on all different avenues and got people involved,” Harmon said. “I think we’ve got a momentum going and we need to keep that going in some shape or form. People feel like they have an input in where their food is coming from.”

Commissioner Keith Holbert asked Harmon what direction the farmland preservation board is going to give the new agriculture economic development director.

Commissioner Ray Gasperson said he liked the way Holbert phrased the question. He said it implies that the county needs to move forward with advertising.

Commissioners agreed to put advertising for a new director on its next meeting agenda, scheduled for May 20, after determining that they wouldn’t make any decisions during a work session.

Commissioner Ted Owens said the position is still in the budget and has never been taken out, so

Wednesday, May 8, 2013

there’s no question the county is going to have the position.

“That’s a simple fact,” Owens said. “We may want to advertise at the next meeting or we may want to wait until the first of June.”

JoAnn Miksa-Blackwell said she couldn’t tell the board how happy she was to hear they want to move forward with a new director.

Blackwell is the rural director for Mountain BizWorks, which serves 40 counties. She said years ago she would go to the state and Polk County was not even represented. Now, she said, not only is Polk represented, but Polk is a state model.

“We need money but in addition to that we need leadership and that’s what Lynn Sprague brought,” said Blackwell. “And he helped us see our collective vision and that’s what we want to make sure continues.”

Lance Smith said when he first came to the county he taught school and knew well the fractures the county had. He said there was the Tryon folk, the Columbus folk, the Green Creek folk and the Sunny View folk. He said agriculture and the farmers markets have changed that mentality and increased opportunities for people who are not farmers.

“It’s a resource that if we don’t take care of, just like our people, we’re not going to have, it’s gone,” Smith said.

He said the $144,258 annual budget for the agricultural economic development department “is a bargain.”

“Agriculture is where we’re unified,” Smith said. “That’s what’s held the people here.”

Mary Hardvall said the ag center and Lynn Sprague brought awareness to her.

She said she used to by what she needed at the grocery store and never thought about where it came from. Once the farmers markets came, she said she started talking to the farmers.

“The bottom line is it brings us together,” Hardvall said. “Somebody said this is by the community for the community and I think that’s what we need to continue to nurture.”

Saluda tailgate market open weekly through October

by Mark Schmerling

“Nothing builds a local economy like food,” is what farmer Lee Mink tells students and agriculture officials.

Mink, who owns and operates Leap Farm in Mill Spring, was one of the many local growers displaying and selling produce, plants and other products raised or created locally at Friday, May 3’s opener of the Saluda Tailgate Market.

The market is held Fridays from 4:30-6:30 p.m. near the Route 176 bridge toward the west end of town, from May through October.

It is one of three such markets held in Polk County with the purpose of connecting residents with local farmers and their products. The others are in Columbus and Tryon.

This year’s opener boasted 24 vendors, nine more than last year’s, said Shelley DeKay, Saluda Business Association’s tailgate market coordinator.

What: Saluda Farmers Market When: Fridays, 4:30-6:30 p.m.

Where: Parking lot near bridge on Route 176 Saluda and Polk County Agricultural Development.

“I think it was a great market for a cold, cloudy Friday,” said DeKay. “The reason we can keep the caliber of vendors we have is the community support.”

She noted that the market’s ongoing success involves “finding the right balance in the number of vendors. I think they all had a good market.”

On Friday, growers and producers set up rapidly, anticipating the eventual rush of enthusiastic customers.

Federal funds to support early intervention Each year District One Schools receives federal money that supports training, staff development, class size reduction and instructional programs.

These include Title I, Title II, Title III, IDEA and Pre-School Disabled Funds. Next year,

(Chickens are not vegetarian)?

Maybe you’d care to plant organically raised heirloom tomato plants, and treat yourself and friends to the luscious fruit. How about naturallyderived soaps and remedies?

Don’t forget kale, chard, and other organically grown greens, as well as shiitake mushrooms.

Those, and more, are offered by local growers and producers from Polk and Henderson counties. You can also find irises and value-added products.

In all, Saluda’s Tailgate Market is about a special aspect of western North Carolina — fresh and naturally-raised food that benefits both consumers and the local economy.

“I hope we continue to get support from the county,” said DeKay. “I think sustainable economy involves agriculture.”

As Mink says, “You build a local economy by building local food.” It’s about “neighbors putting money into your neighbor’s pocket.”

Title I funds will be used to support early intervention programs in the six elementary schools.

Title II funds will be used to supplement other funds that are used to reduce class size in first grade. Title III funds will be used to support instruction for English

Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). IDEA and Pre-School Disability funds are spent on special education students in the district to cover teacher salaries and instructional materials.

We thank the commissioners for vocally stating a commitment to a movement many Polk County residents obviously feel very passionate about supporting. We may not know what came first – the chicken or the egg – but at least in Polk County we know where they both were raised.

To the editor: I have really been enjoying your monthly “Life in our Foothills” magazine!

The full color photographs of so many of my friends coupled with those of places in Our Area just make for delight after delight. I was tempted to frame that cover photo of Eleanor and Carroll Rog- Letter ers . . . she laughs at to the my jokes, and while Editor he has retired his motorcycle, we can still talk of flying airplanes in our day.

If you enjoyed reading about those carrying on the century-old businesses in the current issue, perhaps you would also enjoy reading first-hand stories about the founders featured in the first book of my “Remember When” columns. “A Boy in the Amen Corner” is available in local book stores and libraries or from me, and tells of my associations with Seth Vining Sr, John Cowan (whose weekly double-page ads in the Bulletin went a long way

to sustain two generations of Vinings!), Elbert Arledge, and all three generations of Bradys, including Holland Jr. I went to school with friend Cindy Walker’s mom and her siblings, and wrote about her uncle Ben Cromer, who danced with all the girls and who would play Chopin’s “Minute Waltz” for us if begged. The others were ahead of me in Tryon School, but I knew them all.

I have not eaten at Wards many times because the place is always full, with people waiting outside at lunch time! It is still like an old country store inside, but without the fly-paper strips that used to hang all around . . .

They leave stacks of the magazine lying around everywhere, so go ahead and pick one up. You will be glad you did. And you can subscribe if you want to be sure of getting every issue.

“Stars of Tomorrow” perform for Foothills Music Club, Inc. Members and guests of Foothills Music Club (FMC) were entertained and impressed when five of their 2013 scholarship winners performed for them at their April meeting. Member Elaine Jenkins was the hostess.

Stephen Stimac played “Concertino,” by Leroy Ostransky, on his trumpet.

Katherine Riedy, soprano, sang “O mio babbino caro” by Puccini, and ”Vergebliches Ständchen,” Op. 84, no. 4 (The Vain Suit), by Johannes Brahms. She was accompanied on the piano by Pam McNeil. On her alto saxophone, Katherine Barker performed Gustavo Rossari’s “Etude 23.”

Paulina Ray-Zorick played two preludes by Debussy: “La fille aux cheveux de lin,” and “La sérénade interrompue.”

Lastly, Rachel Richards performed on her cello J. S. Bach’s “Sarabande” and “Minuet” from Unaccompanied Suite, no. 1.

FMC is proud of these students to whom it presented scholarships this year. They are among the many qualified students to whom, since 1994, the Foothills Music Club Inc. has awarded more than $38,000 in scholarships.

FMC appreciates very much the support it receives from the surrounding community, enabling it to administer a strong scholarship program, which identifies students such as these featured in the “Stars of Tomorrow” performance. FMC is now a 501(c)3 designated organization, and all contributions are tax deductible.

Parsons to lead talk on Enneagram Personality System at ICC Dr. Lynne Parsons will give a free introductory talk on the Enneagram Personality System on May 17 at 7 p.m. at ICC Polk campus.

This will be followed the next day by an all day workshop May 18 on the Enneagram at Morning Glory Farm in Mill Spring sponsored by ICC. The Enneagram, meaning nine-pointed graph in Greek is an ancient personality system that is designed to help us recognize

“Intentions Time”

by Jamison To think about what Must be done on Any given day, Prioritize you must, It can be no other way A dance of destiny Begins at dawn, for Some who then arise; Agendas are pre-planned, Important notes apprise.

For others caught back In the past, they rework And review – Creating frowns upon The face, concluding What is true.

But it gets worse When you’re down in bed, With all the guilt from What’s not done Running through Your head.

Alas, to we who suffer Intention’s time and toll; It will or won’t be Manifest, what starts Out as a goal.

ourselves through our habits of attention. Or, where our mind goes automatically when we aren’t focusing it deliberately. It is a system that has been used in spiritual programs.

The first book written about the Enneagram in the U.S.A. was written by a Catholic priest.

However the system has very ancient roots dating back to obscure monasteries.

It is a system designed for people to use self-observation of

their habits of mind to gain greater self-compassion and also leads to deeper understanding of others, especially loved ones.

Dr. Parsons was certified to teach the Enneagram by Helen Palmer and David Daniels a decade ago and has since taught it in many states as well as locally.

Her teaching uses what is known as the Oral Tradition, or interviewing people about their habits of attention as a way of illustrating the nine positions. It

will be a workshop where everyone is involved. That might sound scary but in fact, it happens in a way that people go away grateful for the sense of how we are all in the same boat, we all have strengths and what we generally regard as weaknesses.

Since the Enneagram is a map, it helps us navigate this territory of personality gently and with humor.

Wolverines gear up for Friday’s baseball playoff opener

by Mark Schmerling

This Friday would be a great time for Polk County High School varsity baseball players to show their real hitting strength, as the Wolverines begin playoff action at home against Bunker Hill. First pitch is set for 7 p.m.

Ty Stott has coached Polk for 18 years. In that time, “we’ve always had some very good players,” Stott recalled.

Since 2000, the Wolverines have captured five conference championships, and from 2007 through 2010, advanced to at least the third round of the playoffs.

On occasion, Polk hitters have exploded with hard and timely hits, but Stott is concerned that in three of the past four games, that hasn’t happened.

“We just have to get some Daniel Painter pulls back to throw into home plate. Painter and the Wolverines will need to play smartly, Coach Ty Stott said, to come out strong in the playoff opener Friday night. (photo by Mark Schmerling)

momentum (going into the playoffs),” he said. Recent soggy weather has also upset the hitters’ timing. “With this weather, it’s hard to get into a routine.”

One definite plus for the playoff opener is this: Until last year, the Wolverines were 14-0 in home playoff games. In last year’s opener, a star pitcher and a star hitter were both out of the lineup with recent injuries.

“In baseball,” observed Stott, “home field advantage is bigger than in any other sport. Among other factors, “We get to bat last.”

Another factor is fan support.

The Wolverines have that, and Stott expects a big crowd to turn out on Friday.

Last Friday, timely hits were scarce, as Polk fell to a very good Henderson team, 5-0, in conference action.

“We just couldn’t get the timely hits, and they (Henderson) made all the plays,” said Stott.

Stott said his players excel at taking advantage of any of their opponents’ mistakes, but added that Henderson made none.

Starter Daniel Painter got scant support, as Polk fell to 12-8 overall, and 10-2 in conference action.

Polk’s make-up game against Mitchell, was to be played yesterday at Polk (switched from Mitchell).

The playoffs are singleelimination through the first four rounds, so teams must play well to advance.

“Fourth round is the furthest we’ve ever been,” said Stott.

“That was in Single A.” With its current Double A status, Polk faces a greater challenge in the post season. “Double A is very difficult to get to the third round,” said Stott. “Our pitching is very strong. When we hit, it makes everything easier,” a thought echoed up and down every level of baseball.

A further reason for optimism, Stott noted, is that many excellent teams have faced the

“What we did (in) the first 20 games, we need to get that back ...

We’re going to have to be scrappy and capitalize on the other teams’ mistakes.”

-- Coach Ty Stott

same schedule interruptions from rainy weather, and all will be trying to work their way back to top form. “I think we’re capable of winning a couple of (playoff) games,” said Stott.

Bunker Hill is the third-seed in its conference, while Polk is first in the Western Highlands Conference.

“What we did (in) the first 20 games, we need to get that back,” said Stott. “We’re going to have to be scrappy and capitalize on the other teams’ mistakes.”

Slow Food partners with Head Start in family cooking class

Polk County preschoolers and their siblings work with Slow Food Foothills volunteers and Head Start staff to prepare a special salad for their parents. (photo submitted)

With the idea of getting kids and their parents cooking together, Slow Food Foothills “Slow Food in Schools” program recently partnered with the Polk County Head Start to offer a hands-on cooking class.

This interactive class was held at the cooperative extension demonstration kitchen in Columbus on Tuesday, April 9.

Jimmi Buell, FCS Agent with the Polk County Cooperative Extension Service instructed the parents in preparing a home cooked meal of chicken fingers, mashed potatoes and green beans.

While peeling potatoes for the meal, the adults got a comparison of the difference in the cost, time required and nutritional value of the home cooked meal versus picking up a fast food equivalent, as well as a number of helpful

hints regarding planning meals, grocery shopping tips and meal items.

Meanwhile the preschoolers and some of their older siblings worked with Tamara Black from Polk County Head Start and a number of Slow Food in Schools volunteers to prepare “vegetapeople” salads and strawberry shortcake for dessert.

The children were shown a (Continued on page 27)

sample of a salad made to look like a smiling face, and were told that their job was to create a special salad for their parents and then make one for themselves.

They were given a wide variety of fresh vegetable and fruit ingredients to create their salads.

With the enthusiasm and imagination of children, salad masterpieces began to appear.

While many of the children were initially reluctant to try the fresh fruits and vegetables, in a short time there were as many cherry tomato halves and cucumber slices being snacked on as being used in the salads.

Once they had finished their parent’s salads, they eagerly started salads for themselves and all of the volunteers. While all of the plates were labeled with the “artist’s” name, each was unique enough to be easily identified by the child who created it.

Chairperson for the Slow Food in Schools program, Barb Raymond said, “We find this repeatedly, with children of all ages. If you get them involved in the process of preparing food, they will happily eat it without any encouragement from an adult.”

While one group of children created their salads, others chopped fresh strawberries with the precision of budding surgeons.

When dinner was ready and the children proudly presented their parents with the hand-made salads, families and volunteers all sat down to enjoy a wonderful meal and a lot of happy chatter as the kids told their parents about their cooking adventures. At the end of the evening, families left with some new skills, helpful information and happy children.

Slow Food Foothills second annual fund raiser will be held at Overmountain Winery on Sunday, May 19.

Proceeds from this fund raiser will be used to support programs like children’s cooking classes.

St. Luke’s welcomes new coordinator of Lean Principles St. Luke’s Hospital is pleased to announce Hans Palma has joined the staff in a new position designed to coordinate Lean improvement efforts at the hospital.

Lean is a philosophy of continuous process improvement that was developed for manufacturing but has since spread to every business sector, including healthcare.

Lean management was originally developed by Japanese automaker Toyota after World War II, in an effort to streamline manufacturing by eliminating waste and costly inventory. Lean has become recognized as the premier process improvement system in the world and has gained traction in healthcare resulting in significant improvements in safety, quality, lead time and financials.

As the Lean coordinator for St. Luke’s, Palma is assisting the Senior Leadership Team, department managers and hospital staff to gain a better understanding of how to use Lean principles to expose inefficiencies.

While hospitals certainly don’t operate in assembly-line fashion, the healthcare industry must operate in a structured way of continuously exposing and solving problems, explained Ken Shull, chief executive officer for St. Luke’s Hospital.

“The goal for Lean is to deliver value to our patients. If a patient doesn’t benefit from a part in the process, that part has no value to

them and we need to assess if that part can be eliminated,” Shull said.

Palma added, “Basically, we will look at various processes throughout the hospital, map them out and see what parts of the process add value in the patient’s eyes and which ones don’t. Those parts that don’t add value we will minimize or eliminate altogether.

“For those used to always doing things the same way, Lean thinking is a bit of an adjustment. But so far, the majority of St. Luke’s employees I’ve spoken with have embraced the new philosophy with great interest,” Palma said.

Lean thinking is not typically associated with healthcare, where wastes of time, money, supplies and good will is a common problem. But the principles of Lean management can work in healthcare in much the same way they do in other industries.

Lean engages all levels of an (Continued on page 29)

customer satisfaction, improved efficiencies and employee engagement.

Palma brings enthusiasm and experience as a Lean intern and as a business analyst. He received a BA degree in business with operations management concentration from Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Mich. Prior to moving South, Palma worked at St. Mary’s Healthcare to implement a computerized system for time and attendance and gained great experience

in changing the hospital’s culture.

He lives in Spartanburg where his wife attends Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine.

“People here are excited about the new patient wing under construction,” Palma said. “They’re energized and ready for more positive changes that will ensure St. Luke’s Hospital will continue to provide exceptional care, close to home.”

All of the organizations receive a portion of the prize money with first place receiving a prize of $1,500.

The riders, who are volunteering their time and skills to participate in this event, will receive special awards in thanks for their participation.

The unique multi-charity approach has also allowed the event to assemble a diverse portfolio of charities cover-

ing animal rescue, children’s causes, family care, medical support, equestrians, education, the arts and the environment among others.

TR&HC is proud to have Ariat and the Farmhouse as partners in this event once again in 2013, and hope to expand the number of teams as well as increase the prize money offered in future years.
