Three of his own hives have died out. Across the nation, one third of managed bee colonies were lost this winter, 42 percent above last winter’s losses, according to the seventh annual na(Continued on page 4)

Man arrested on peeping tom charges rently in the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office Detention Center, where he is awaiting a bond hearing at a time to be set by the court. – article submitted by Tony Ivey

County Clerk of Courts office. Half of the bond was made by deeds of trust and the other half through a bondsman. McGraw’s release order states that he has to submit a DNA sample and is prohibited from possessing or controlling a firearm or any other deadly weapon. He has also been ordered not to have contact, either directly or indirectly with Mintz’s family or with Mary Beth Fisher, the woman prosecutors said he was romantically involved with prior to the murder. If McGraw violates the release order, he will be taken back into custody.

McGraw is a former police officer with the Fletcher Police Department and was honorably discharged from the U.S. Air Force. His attorney last year, Tony Dalton, also told the court McGraw was an EMT and firefighter and he had no criminal history. McGraw has sought bond reductions with court documents saying he was seeking a reduction so he could defend himself in a wrongful death suit filed by Mintz’s father, Carl Mintz. Carl Mintz’s civil suit was filed in October 2011 alleging that McGraw planned Vanessa Mintz’s murder with premeditation. Carl Mintz is seeking compensa-

Whitmire deserves relief from reoccurring stench of sewage

Have you ever seen the movie Groundhog Day where Bill Murray plays a weatherman frustrated because he has to cover the same ol’ story year after year? Murray awakes after his fourth year of covering the festival to realize it’s Groundhog Day again. The impending saga continues to repeat itself over and over as Murray’s character battles to escape the madness. Unfortunately, real life isn’t a comedy and neither is the situation one area resident currently faces. How many times have we covered the story of Eunice Whitmire and her struggles with sewage? It turns out we had written almost the exact same story of this Tryon resident on February 1, 2010 as we did on May 17, 2012 and as we did last week on May 9, 2013. Whitmire told commissioners this time last year that sewage has been backing up into her home every time a heavy rain has fallen since 1999. Really, 1999 – you mean 14 years ago? Would you or I so patiently wait for the town to fix this problem? Could you wait that long? Could you live with the stench of sewage after a heavy rain as you tried to avoid stepping in the soggy areas of your yard? Let’s forget that the wastewater spilling into your yard prevents you from the simple enjoyment of gardening or watching your grandkids run around on a sunny day. We believe Eunice Whitmire deserves more than a “We’re trying.” Because the Town of Tryon is trying to fix the problem, according to Mayor Alan Peoples, but who knows just how much longer the solution will take. The town has tried, Peoples says, everything the NC Department of Natural Resources has told them to do. They’ve put into place backflow meters, placed lime on her yard, paid for her home to be cleaned and sealed the manhole near her home. In 2012 the town was denied the first grant it applied for to fix the issue. Now the city has been approved for a $600,000 grant and plans to contribute another $150,000 to replace lines along East Howard Street where Whitmire lives. Officials say this will hopefully resolve the problem, though some speculate it will just send it on elsewhere. Regardless, bids haven’t even been sent out yet and that means months more of waiting for Whitmire. Who can guess how many more heavy rains we will experience between now and then? We’re not sure Whitmire should have to wait a minute longer for relief. She’s waited too long at this point to live in such a subpar environment from the rest of us. Some council members have suggested buying Whitmire’s home, condemning the property and moving her somewhere she can enjoy life without sewage as her roommate. We don’t feel that is such a bad plan. We’re not saying we don’t understand the wall standing in Tryon’s way. To replace even this small portion of line costs close to $1 million. But, if we can’t take care of the basic needs – the basic health and well being of our citizens in Tryon – in a reasonable manner of time, what else matters? – Editorial staff, Tryon Daily Bulletin

Another witness in Tryon said the Columbus Police Department’s car was only inches behind the fugitives’ auto when they sped through their streets. They also said the highway patrol was four cars back and was not allowed to get to the fugitives. It is my understanding that the highway patrol is the only unit that is allowed to spinout a fleeing vehicle. If this is so, then why was the trooper not allowed to pass the local units and stop the fugitive? - J. R. Pack,

Our mission, for those not present: “The Polk County Soil and Water Conservation District is a government entity dedicated to the protection, preservation and enhancement of Polk County’s natural resources”. Soil and Water Districts have a long history extending all the way back to the Dust Bowl in the 1930s. As a district we work with county, state, and the federal government, as well as other public and private organizations in a non-regulatory capacity to install soil and water conservation practices on the ground in Polk County protecting our soils and water quality. We are one of 96 Districts throughout North Carolina. Our daily tasks include delivering state conservation programs to Polk County landowners, delivering Federal Farm Bill conservation programs to Polk Count landowners, assist communities in natural resource management, respond to natural disasters by helping local land owners and state and local governments with clean up and restoration efforts. We also assist in projects of local interest such as conservation easements, environmental education. We also own and manage the Mill Spring Agricultural Center building.

FHS receives grant from PCCF for summer interns Foothills Humane Society (FHS) has again received a grant from the Polk County Community Foundation (PCCF) to provide summer internship opportunities for area high school students in the summer of 2013. The grant requires that the interns reside in Polk County or Landrum and is designed to support employment opportunities that benefit both local agencies and high school students in our community. The funded position will provide assistance to Foothills Humane Society during the busy summer months when hundreds of homeless animals come to the area’s animal shelter. The summer interns gain real life work experience, learning about the operations of the shelter, working with staff and volunteers to care for the animals, locating the owners of stray animals, finding homes for homeless animals and assisting with research for grant-

writing. The shelter internship is ideal for a student interested in pursuing a career in nonprofit management, animal science, biology, veterinary science or a related field. Interested parties should apply for the internship opportunity by visiting the Foothills Humane Society website at www.foothillshumanesociety.org or e-mail them at info@foothillshumanesociety. org for an application. Please do not call or visit the shelter for an application. Foothills Humane Society is a North Carolina nonprofit organization dedicated to the welfare of animals in our community, including the care of more than 1,700 stray, unwanted and/or abused animals each year. Donations and volunteers to help care for the community’s animals are always needed and appreciated. – article submitted by Selena Coffey, executive director

Polk County’s got cool This month, The Gorge will celebrate its grand opening. In a stroke a genius, owners Tim and Sara Bell of Saluda have selected as their inaugural zipper, Bonnie Zelinskie, 84, of Tryon Estates. Why would an 84-year-old want to take the plunge on a two and a half hour ride under the old growth forest on the Green River Gorge? According to Ms. Zelinskie, “it sounded so cool…” The Gorge marks another milestone in the growing outdoor adventure industry in western North Carolina. The Bells also own the highly successful Green River Adventures, which takes adventure seekers on Green River kayak rides as well as waterfall rappelling and hikes. The Bells moved their business off the river and on to Main Street in Saluda two years ago and area merchants could not be happier. After a few hours of having mega fun on the river, guests are deposited back to the Green River Adventures outpost downtown, ready to eat and shop – how convenient. The Bells are not the only ones seeing a significant rise in outdoor activities in Polk County. Brooke Walton opened Terra on Trade a few months back, with outdoor equipment, apparel and bike and kayak rentals. As the weather has continued to warm up, so have sales. Walton believes we are in such a perfect spot for the outdoor industry. “We (Polk County) are surrounded by so much to do plus the untapped, natural assets are awesome,” Walton said. Up the mountain, Bike and Hike has also opened in Saluda, catering to a growing tourism segment that wants to do more than sit on the porch at the inn and look at the mountains. They want to really experience the mountains – huffing and puffing and sweating. Overall, the outdoor industry in NC annually contributes more than $19.2 billion in direct

try also impacts a variety of larger industries like manufacturing, leisure and hospitality, transporspending, supports 191,500 tation and wholesale and retail jobs, generates $1.3 billion in trade. Western NC has become state and local tax revenue and a center not only of recreation produces $5.6 billion in wages. itself, but also of the design, Polk County has a slice of that development and manufacture pie.

There’s another benefit that is often overlooked to nurturing an outdoor industry: a green, all-natural calling card to young athletic singles and families. The keyword here is young. The appeal of an outdoor industry is instrumental in bringing young talent to the region – people drawn by our (do we dare say it?) cool factor, affordability and live-work balance. As long as Polk County continues to rely on its tried and true reputation as a “Best Place to Retire,” we need to balance that with an extra step to ensure the future includes a next generation and what better group to roll out the red carpet for than healthy, energetic outdoor adventurers?

FENCE and community ‘Celebrate Our Earth’ A gloomy day and imminent rain did not dampen the enthusiasm and fun at Celebrate Our Earth at FENCE on May 4. More than 100 folks came out to learn about energy conservation, how bees provide essential pollination of crops, green building, local food and more. Music, magic, storytelling and theatre entertained everyone and kept the day lively. The crowd enjoyed meeting dogs up for adoption, watching a release of doves as they wheeled around and headed for home, hearing about wild birds, viewing a movie about water conservation, watching a play about energy conservation and much more. Volunteer Julie Gordon did a great job ensuring all guests were signed in and received a re-useable bag and re-fillable water bottle. Debra Carton, sign installer extraordinaire, helped receive guests as did Gretchen

set up their displays. Volunteers Kate Bond, Kelly Bradley and Keith Viglietta also worked to make the day run smoothly. More volunteers, including Jim Hanson, helped clean up afterwards. Informative displays, cute animals and local food enhanced the

day. The following people shared their knowledge and passion with the community: Mark Tullis – beekeeper, Carol Jackson - Manna Cabanna (local food), David Riddle - earth worms, Keith Bam(Continued on page 23)
