Scholarships available for Life Writing Workshops with Edgar Have you ever been told you should write a book about your life?

Everyone has a story to tell and, whether you want to leave a legacy for your grandchildren or simply desire to celebrate the individuals and events that shaped your life, recording your memories can be very rewarding.

In order to help you get started or organize what you’ve already written, local author, Robin A. Edgar conducts an annual life writing retreat based on her book, In My Mother’s Kitchen: An Introduction to the Healing Power of Reminiscence. The interactive workshop sessions will be held Oct. 4-6 at Wildacres atop a Pompey’s Knob Mountain in Little Switzerland, adjacent to the Blue Ridge Parkway and thousands of acres of the Pisgah National Forest.

Women residing in western North Carolina, 21 years of age or older, are eligible to apply for The Candy Fund (TCF) scholarships for up to $250 or 50 percent of tuition/program costs (whichever is less). Qualified applicants will need to register for the retreat before they apply.

“Robin has a lovely way of bringing memories to the surface. I’ve learned a lot from her and plan to start writing down my thoughts each day because it’s so heartwarming to reminisce,” said previous workshop participant, Janice Joyce.

A lifestyle journalist and storyteller for over 30 years, Edgar successfully shares her expertise in reminiscence writing at venues around the country. In North Carolina, she has conducted seminars at the prestigious John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, the Novello Festival in Charlotte, the Writer’s Workshop in Asheville, and the Lanier Library in Tryon.

“I am on a quest to help people discover the stories about

individuals and incidents that shaped their lives,” says Edgar.

“Similar to Jimmy Stewart’s character in `It’s a Wonderful Life,’ when people reflect on their past, they see they have made a difference.”

In order to give participants full attention, the class size for Life Writing is limited to 10 participants.

The fee for this weekend retreat includes five interactive sessions and a double-occupan-

cy room for two nights with five meals. Registration deadline is Sept. 6, 2013.

To register, contact Robin Edgar at www.robinedgar.com.

Yours FHS should not become political toy To the editor: I was saddened yet not surprised by Emmy Summers’ letter to the editor on May 23. How she could take such a positive organization in Polk County – the Foothills Humane Society (FHS) and turn it into another bashing of the Republican county commissioners is beyond belief.

I did not ask “why” she would do this; I think suffice it to say, she is part of the group here in Polk County that has made it their mission to turn everything into some kind of political battle.

Emmy must remember that many people in Polk County who support the FHS may be discouraged from doing so in the future as she and others like her use this wonderful organization to pit residents against one another… If this occurs, FHS will be the true loser.

Let’s look at some facts that come directly off the FHS website,

which should be considered and evaluated before asking for any further Polk Country taxpayer funding.

FHS Annual Report (excerpts from FHS Website) Category 2011 2012 Difference Total “Intake” 2070 to 1,705; 365 or 21 percent less Expense by category Animal Care & Placement: 82 per- Letter cent to 70 percent – 12 to the percent less than prior Editor year Events & Admin: 10 percent to 17 percent – 7 percent increase from prior year Operational Expenses: 8 percent to 13 percent – 5 percent increase from prior year The numbers above do not and cannot tell the whole story. However, before approving a 15 percent increase over 2012, these changes at least should be addressed before asking for taxpayers to provide more funds. Emmy, you can’t just live on emotion alone.

The other question that I, for one, would like to have answered is how much funding comes from Rutherfordton, Landrum, Campobello or other areas? Of the total intake in 2012, 81 or 5 percent of the animals were from Rutherfordton; 237 or about 14 percent were from Landrum and 116 or 7 percent were from Campobello with an additional 40 or a little over 2 percent from “other” areas (other than it appears Polk County). This amounts to a total 474 of the 1,705 animals taken in during 2012 or 28 percent of the total. This begs the question, what kind of annual increase was requested from these jurisdictions?

Emmy, in your letter to the editor you mentioned a “valid and scrupulously documented request” for the increase of 15 percent.

Have you seen this valid and scrupulously documented request?

I could not find it posted on the FHS website anywhere; perhaps I missed it.

What necessitates an increase of 15 percent? Is a breakdown of this needed increase available anywhere?

As I understand it, Emmy spends a great deal of time and her own money on helping the

Letter to the Editor

Public comment To the editor: First, I appreciate the county commissioners who allowed public comment on the proposed budget — even though public comment is not legally required.

As a homeowner, I am, of course, thrilled at the ¼ cent decrease in the tax assessment — which comes to $3.375 per year.

However, as thrilled as I am that house owners — some of which

Foothills Humane Society and she should be applauded for that.

But saying that the request was “a mere” $14,580 does not bode well in these tough economic times; your mere $14,580 is an increase of 15 percent. I am not aware of anyone getting 15 percent increases for anything at this point in time.

If I am not mistaken, the Foothills Humane Society began as an all volunteer organization. Now, according to their own annual report approximately 30 percent of expenditures are spent on administrative and operational expenses; meaning that these funds are not going to the programs and services that the FHS mission espouse. A good way to see what I mean is by using a site called CharityNavigator.org.

Our county commissioners are charged with the task of overseeing all functions of Polk County, for all citizens of Polk County. We would expect them to use more than just emotion, as it seems your letter to the editor portrays.

If you are going to address an issue, the facts need to be presented and please stop using any and everything to attack the commissioners for doing their job.

– Cyndi Breedlove, Mill Spring

are landlords — are receiving some slight tax relief, I cannot help wondering what is being done to help those who are not eligible for that relief — the renters.

Accordingly, I have decided that I shall donate my $3.375 per year to whatever group or individual is working to equalize the financial pain we must all feel to provide services for the unfortunate who need those services the most.

Letter to the Editor

Strange days To the editor: These are strange days indeed in Polk County.

The county spends approximately 25 percent of the annual average cost of running an animal shelter compared with other equivalent sized North Carolina counties. When the Foothills Humane Society requests an increase of $14,580 for funding, the Polk County Board of Commissioners (BOC) rejects it.

When the Polk County department of social services requests filling a vacant child welfare staff position, the Polk County BOC rejects it. When the planning board

presents a Unified Development Ordinance after several years of workshops and hearings, the Polk County BOC rejects it.

What is a concerned citizen to do?

When you come in contact with a stray animal that needs help, drop the animal off at your local county commissioners home.

When you discover a social services issue that needs dealing with, leave the issue at your local county commissioners home.

When you want to build that asphalt plant/landfill/strip mine, build it next to your local county commissioners home.

Strange days demand strange ways.

Letter to the Editor

TBOM Stamp Out Hunger To the editor: On behalf of Outreach’s volunteers, staff and Board of Directors, I write to express my deepest gratitude to this community for the overwhelming response to the recent “Stamp Out Hunger” food drive.

This event, sponsored annually by the National Association of Letter Carriers, traditionally brings in roughly 1 ton of food to the Outreach food pantry. This year, the community pulled together and over 4 tons of food was donated.

The success of such a large scale food drive can be directly attributed to the caring people involved. We heard stories of letter carriers taking several trips through their usual route in order to pick up the donated food. Community members proved their generosity once again, filling bags to the brim with food for our neighbors in need. Finally, Outreach’s dedicated crew of volunteers helped transport the donations from local post offices to our pantry - no small feat when handling over 4 tons of goods.

To all who were involved in this food drive, in ways large and small, I offer you my sincere thanks. Your compassion for others will make a

difference in the lives the people that we serve.

Good things about Columbus Police Department To the editor: First I would like to start by saying that after all of the criticisms Columbus Police Department has received in the Bulletin lately I would like to say some good things about them. I would first like to ask a question to the people that have put things in this paper about our police department: Really?

Letter to the Editor

It’s a Matter of (Un)fairness To the editor: Polk County budget time with a new majority on the board of commissioners (BOC). Take cover,

Wednesday, June 5, 2013

You have nothing better to do then bash the good men of Columbus just because you were speeding or want to say things about the chief just because you don’t agree with what he is doing?

Chief (Chris) Beddingfield is a fine man and a great chief, and the men that work for him are the same.

These men put a badge on every day they come to work knowing that this might be their last time seeing their families, and putting their lives on the line protecting you - the people that want to complain.

Why don’t you walk in their shoes just one day and see how they

feel and how they have to handle things? When you’re off from your job, you’re off. These guys have to be mindful of everything 24 hours a day, because they protect - you the person that wants to complain about a traffic officer sitting on I-26 stopping speeders.

But what you don’t know, sir, is that there are people out there driving down our roads, yes our roads, in Columbus, drinking and driving.

If that traffic officer was not sitting on I-26 stopping that drinker who was speeding and finding out that he was under the influence, then who is to say he would not

be driving down Mills Street and hit one of your loved ones or one of mine?

I’m not here to argue over what has been said, but why not think about how your attitude affects people that are willing to die for you because they took an oath to God to serve and protect.

Just FYI, speeding is the second leading cause of fatal car crashes, which is 30 percent of all the fatalities each year. Is your family worth a police officer turning his head because you think it’s wrong?

- Bill Hodges, Columbus

unless you’re a member of the majority’s “favorites club.”

First, why is it that Gibson Pool needs to be run like a business, according to the majority, charging the children who use it at least 80 percent of the cost to operate the pool? In contrast, the majority aren’t asking for one penny from

those who use the Mill Spring Recreation Center (ball fields) or Laughter Pond.

So, charge children who use the pool 80 percent of the county’s cost to operate it; charge adults and children who use the Mill Spring Recreation Center ball fields and Laughter Pond zero percent of the

cost to operate them. In fact, the majority has refused even to consider a small user fee for the Mill Spring Recreation Center. Where’s the fairness there?

Then there’s the Foothills Humane Society. FHS gives Polk (Continued on page 11)

Wednesday, June 5, 2013 Tryon Daily Bulletin / The World’s Smallest Daily Newspaper

• (Un)fairness (continued from page 10)

County citizens one of the best deals they could possibly get, by operating a virtually no-kill shelter, and taking care of Polk County’s legal obligations regarding stray animals. What thanks do they get? A slapdown by the majority of the BOC. Without even polling the commissioners, Michael Gage gave the verdict: We say “no.”

How could he have known that, without even asking the others in his majority? Clearly by discussing it and making up their minds ahead of time, outside of a legally called meeting.

Once upon a time, not so long ago, it was the custom in Polk County for county employees to take stray dogs to the landfill, shoot them and just leave them there.

There are still some (likely among the majority) who think that this is an adequate method to deal with the huge problem of strays and question why we pay FHS for their services. But others rose up and demanded change, and FHS took over the county’s responsibilities.

What a great job FHS has done.

For some years, Polk County paid FHS a small, inadequate sum for their work on behalf of Polk County. Then, several years ago, FHS appropriately did a study to determine just how much it costs them to fulfill the county’s legal responsibilities. FHS did a great job of providing the financial information, and Polk County agreed to pay just what it costs FHS to take care of the strays for the time required by law (only 3 days), even though FHS often keeps the animals much longer when needed to find them forever homes).

But in the last several years, even with the fine spay and neuter program, the problem of strays has gotten worse, and the costs have gone up. So, FHS again approached the BOC, after several years of no increases in payments, and asked for the amount of money it actually costs them to fulfill the county’s legal responsibilities. The majority’s answer: No dice. Why? The animals and the people who care about them just

aren’t one of the new majority’s favored groups. The majority just doesn’t care about such things or such people.

The majority feels that, rather than Polk County as a whole taking care of its obligations regarding stray animals, the generous donors to FHS can just make up the difference, out of their private pockets. That’s not right.

The BOC needs to represent ALL of the people of Polk County, and represent them fairly. Not just their “favorites club.”

Tryon Riding & Hunt Club scholarship recipients Seven years ago, at the urging of Board of Director member Nancy Z. Wilson, the Tryon Riding & Hunt Club (TROHC) created a scholarship fund for worthy equestrian-oriented graduating seniors and those attending institutions of higher education. As criteria, all applicants must be involved in equine activities in the Polk County/ Upstate region.

This program is in addition to the TR&HC scholarship available through the Polk County Com-

munity Foundation.

The Tryon Riding & Hunt Club proudly recognizes Olivia Case, Landrum High School graduate; Carson Kay, sophomore at Berry College; and Ashley Monk, a rising senior at Gardner – Webb as the recipients of the 2013 TR&HC Educational Scholarship.

The three students selected will each receive a portion of monies from the scholarship fund. All three exemplify the

spirit of the award by knowing that equestrian activities teach hard work, dedication, time management, responsibility and teamwork.

Also involved in the TR&HC scholarship selection committee were Jeff Arrowood, Tryon Chief of Police; Jeff Harmon, Harmon & Associates; and Donald Hill, Polk County Sheriff.

The 2013 scholarship recipients also include Shalyn Brown, the Tryon Riding & Hunt Club

Scholarship winner administered through the Polk County Community Foundation.

The TR&HC is a non-profit organization, 501 c.3 so any support or donations would be tax deductible. For more information, call 828-863-0480 or mail donations to 6985 S. NC 9 Hwy, Columbus, N.C. 28722 with “scholarship” marked in the memo line.

Rutherford Regional offers Safe Sitter course July 3 and 10 ®

Rutherford Regional Health System is offering the Safe Sitter® course for young teens 11 to 13 years of age. Two different one-day class dates will be offered: Wednesday, July 3, and Wednesday, July 10, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Rutherford Regional Medical Center.

More than 500,000 adolescent babysitters have graduated from the medically-accurate program which instills students with confidence as they learn how, why and

where injuries can happen so they can be prevented. Rutherford Regional Health System has partnered with Safe Kids Rutherford County for the past six years to offer this course.

The up-to-date curriculum provides hands-on practice in lifesaving techniques designed to prepare babysitters to act in an emergency. Babysitters also receive instruction on how a child’s age affects how to care for them, how to prevent problem behavior

and how to run their own babysitting business. They also learn basic first aid and how to perform infant and child choking rescue.

To graduate from the Safe Sitter® course and receive a completion card, students must pass a written test that indicates their mastery of key concepts and life and safety skills.

The cost of the course includes a student handbook, babysitting bag of supplies, course completion card and lunch. Pre-

registration is required, and class size is limited. To register your son or daughter for one of these classes, contact the site coordinator by calling 828-286-5218 or emailing Charlene.proctor@ rutherfordregional.com.

For more information about the Safe Sitter® organization, contact National Headquarters at 800-255-4089 or visit www. safesitter.org.

The bluish black female Diana Fritillary mimics the Pipevine Swallowtail and can sometimes be confused with the much smaller Red-spotted Purple. The males can

be mistaken for the Great Spangled Fritillary.

If you think that you have seen this species or know where it might be located, contact PAC at 828-8595060, or e-mail comments, questions or photos to landprotection@ pacolet.org.

The purpose of this project is to gain a better understanding of the flora and fauna in Polk County and document the species present in the county.

PAC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit 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. PACs vision is a community living and growing in harmony with our natural resources and or goal is 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 native species appreciation and responsible land use practices to help – save the places you love.
