Saluda Streets Alive! held June 8 to promote playing by Samantha Hurst

Saluda residents intent on playing the afternoon away enjoyed the Saluda Streets Alive! event held Saturday, June 8. Kids painted on a makeshift mural, played with beach balls and soccer balls, danced and colored with chalk along the roadway. Saluda City Clerk Monica Pace said residents made the event happen. “We had over 130 in attendance and everyone enjoyed the event. The homeowners on Meadowview Drive, Cedarview Drive, Hart Street and Crescent Street were great and helped with set up, activity supervision and allowed us to use their neighborhood,” said Pace. “We had plenty of volunteers and a lot of fun.” The Polk County Community Foundation made the Saluda Streets Alive! event possible through a $3,000 grant. Healthy snacks, bottled water and a free T-shirt were provided for everyone who came. Additional T-shirts (Continued on page 4)

The sheriff’s office received a call from a resident in the Green Creek area in reference to suspicious persons in the Poors Ford Road area. A deputy located the vehicle and while initiating a stop the vehicle fled, according to sheriff reports. The suspect vehicle wrecked near Green River Baptist Church with the occupants fleeing into the woods on foot. With assistance from the Rutherford County Sheriff ’s Office, Polk County deputies located the two suspects hiding in the woods where both suspects were taken into custody, according to the sheriff report. Officers recovered approximately $20,000 worth of stolen property following the arrest, states the sheriff report. Both suspects were given $75,000 bonds each.

Landrum files suit against Campobello over annexation by Samantha Hurst

We have a New York Direct Sales Connection!

The City of Landrum filed action against the Town of Campobello May 30 requesting a non-jury trial over annexation concerns. Landrum City Council held a special called meeting in late May to discuss concerns over potential actions being taken by Campobello to annex property along I-26 that Landrum officials say crosses its city limits. “After reviewing the paperwork filed by Campobello, we (Landrum) are unclear what property exactly Campobello is trying to annex,” said Landrum City Administrator Caitlin Martin. “The paperwork filed states it is all the way to mile marker one on I-26, and mile marker one is in Landrum’s city limits. So, we are requesting a review of the annexation records in a non-jury trial.” A petition for annexation was filed by the Town of Campobello on Jan. 28, 2013 for a Warren Ganjehsani. The documentation states that Ganjehsani owns “real estate in an area which is contiguous to the Town of Campobello and which is proposed to be annexed into Town.” A rough map was available attached to the annexation petition, which shows a shadowed area proposed for annexation along the interstate up to mile marker one. Court documents allege that Campobello’s petition “does not comply with any of the requirements of S.C. Code Section 5-3-150 (3) in that it is (1) not signed by the owner of the real estate, (2) the property is not sufficiently described to accurately fix location, (3) no tax map reference is included and (4) it is not contiguous to the town limits of Campobello.” It also states that the proposed annexation encroaches in the city limits of Landrum and the Landrum Fire Service territory without notice to Landrum officials or the public. Landrum has requested a restraint on the annexation ordinance until a full review of the annexation has been made and these issues are ironed out. Once that has been done, Landrum has asked the annex be

made void. Martin said the city has not received a response from Campobello since the suit was filed two weeks ago. According to the court summons, Campobello has 30 days or 35 days by certified mail to answer the complaint. The Bulletin spoke to Campobello Mayor Ray Copeland after the Landrum special called meeting in May. Copeland said Campobello was annexing property along I-26. When asked if any of that property is inside the Landrum fire district, Copeland passed the conversation off to Campobello Police Chief Chad McNeil. McNeil said the council approved a plan for annexation during Campobello’s April 1 meeting that would include the property where the South Carolina Welcome Center sits. According to McNeil, his force has been under contract with highway patrol for the past four to five years to answer calls at the welcome center. McNeil said the highway patrol department contacted Campobello requesting to have them take over the area permanently. McNeil said despite Landrum officials’ concerns the annexation move would not affect the amount of fire tax received by Landrum. “Nothing has changed … The only difference is [the welcome center] will get city police instead of county. They will still get the fire response from Landrum,” McNeil said. “The money still goes to them through the county as far as fire tax. The only thing that is different is that dispatch will send us to any calls.” McNeil said the original agreement for Campobello to patrol near the welcome center was put into place to relieve a highway patrol strained by budget cuts. “We went to the 2 mile marker and now it’s a little past the 2 mile marker – where Landrum ends, we pick up,” McNeil said. The Bulletin has contacted the South Carolina Highway Patrol for comment on the potential annexation as well.

Following graduation, Felicia would like to attend college to pursue her creative interests. BS (Big Sister) and LS (Little Sister) will celebrate graduation by going on a cruise. The official BBBS match may be closing, but Felicia and Ruth expect to be friends forever. Prior to enrollment in Big Brothers Big Sisters Little Brother David lost his father. David has been matched with his Big Brother Tommy almost six years, and during that time his stepfather also passed away. Among other fun activities, David and Tommy have enjoyed shooting pool, dining out and walking Big Brother’s dogs, but their primary focus has been attending car shows with Big Brother’s classic Mustang. David has gained a lot of knowledge about automobiles while making a strong connection with members of the car club and others on the car show circuit. With graduation approaching, David has his sights set

on attending college to prepare for a career in computer technology. As their match nears the end, both Big and Little Brother attest to the depth of their friendship by proclaiming they are friends for life. As you can see, Big Brothers Big Sisters is making a positive impact on children and empowering them to succeed. All of the Littles enrolled in Big Brothers Big Sisters have expanded opportunities because someone was willing to ... start something big. Big Brothers Big Sisters is working with kids right here in Polk County and the Landrum area, making a difference in their lives and their futures. Volunteers, school and community partners, and local donors all help BBBS continue the steps in developing friendships, school success, and life skills for area youth. With this help Big Brothers Big Sisters can continue to match children facing adversity with mentors who want to help change those children’s lives for the better. The actions taken today can transform a child’s life and put our youth on the path to a brighter future. Big Brothers Big Sisters relies on our community to help children reach their potential, and be the start of Something Big. For more information on how you can help, please contact BBBS at 859-9230 or polk@bbbswnc.org. – article submitted by Karen Dacey

Brendan Taylor

Landrum High School valedictorian speech from Brendan Taylor There’s an old German proverb that says, “What I spent, I had; what I saved, I lost; what I gave, I have.” It is through doing good in the lives of others that our own lives become worthwhile. Over the past four years, we have accomplished so much together, whether in sports, clubs, art, music or academics. Among all of those things, perhaps the most important is too often overlooked –kindness. Surely all of us can think of at least one time when, out of the goodness of our hearts, we did something for someone just because we wanted to. Nearly everything that happens in our lives happens not because of what we do for ourselves, but because of what others do for us. But often we become so fixated on and impressed by what we think we have done on our own that we do not realize how little we actually did by ourselves. We could not be here tonight without the encouragement, counseling and love of some very important people here. Our families, teachers, coaches and friends have helped us in redeemed - 19

more ways than we realize. Over the past four, 12 or 18 years, these people have been there to love, teach and simply be there for us. And as such, we are left with a great debt to pay. For all the things others have done for us, we are given opportunities to return their kindness to world. As you can probably tell, I decided not to speak to you about dreams or success. Walt Disney once said, “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” I love that quote. And while quotes like that are very inspiring and full of meaning, we have heard them before, and now it is up to us to have faith and believe in our dreams. But I want to speak about something else. No matter what you don’t have, there is always something you have to give. Kindness is a gift that is universal and forever replenishable. Forget about money, jobs and titles and other accolades – because they don’t matter. If you were to travel to the far edge of our solar system, earth would (Continued on page 15)

• Valedictorian (continued from page 14)

appear as nothing more than an insignificant blue dot. Looking at things this way helps us to remember how silly it is for us to worry about things as trivial as fame and fortune. In the grand scheme of things, none of those things has any real value. That isn’t to say that we shouldn’t follow our dreams. Find what you love, what you’re good at, and do that until the day you die. But along the way, look for the people that need something you can give them. Very often, you won’t have to look too far. Through doing good no matter what happens tomorrow, you can look back at all the things you’ve done and know that at least one of those things was something that was worth doing. Even if you don’t become a famous artist, writer, actor, or politician – if you never do anything to get your name in a

history book – you can still live with the satisfaction of knowing that you have, in some way, made a difference. And when you think about it, we are remembered for the good we did. Maybe not by name, but certainly in the sense that we inspired others to do good. Through an endless chain of selflessness, one act of kindness can live long after you are gone. So I encourage you all to do something. Do something, anything, to leave the world a better place than you found it. Whether that means giving away millions of dollars or smiling at someone as you walk down the street, do something. Don’t waste your life chasing things that don’t matter or holding things against the people you love. It’s not where you’ve been it’s where you’re going; it’s not where you start, it’s where you end. Thank you, congratulations, good luck and goodbye, Class of 2013.

Submitted poetry: Vast Beyond I drew a nature scene Today – that is, it Was a meager try – Not me, nor I, can Ever draw the lines To make a sky. All amateurs to draw The sea, surely are Declined.

At most to sketch The sky and sea can Only be outlined. To be viewers, one And all, the audience are we; creations Scapes are visible to Those who look and see. - Janet Jamison

Polk County High School girls soccer roundup Junior Varsity

The Lady Wolverine JV soccer team had one of their best seasons finishing 13-3-1 overall and 6-0 WHC, JV Champions. Their only losses came to Dorman, West Henderson and TC Roberson high schools. Despite the loss to Dorman in the Icebreaker Tournament, the Wolverines went on to make it to the final, defeating Spartanburg 2-0 on the way. In the final, against host Boiling Springs, the score was a 1-1 tie. However the Wolverines would lose in a penalty kick shootout. The defense, anchored by Shiloh Wyatt in goal, allowed only 16 goals this season. Sophomore Miriam Santibanez was second in scoring with 18 goals, and first in assists with 12. Freshman Ashley Love led the team in scoring and total points with a JV record 29 goals, and was second in assists with nine. The

other contributions came from Graci Moser with seven assists and one goal; Sarah Phipps with six assists and two goals; Emily Kocher with three goals; Jessica Bently and Lauren Stratman, both with two goals; Hanna O’Brien with three assists; Maribel Flores with one assist; and Leah Stockdale with one goal. The team ended the season scoring 54 goals. Varsity

The Lady Wolverine Varsity soccer team started the season 0-3, losing to Shelby, F.T. Foard and Hickory, then ended the regular season losing three games. The rest of the season was very good for the Wolverines. They twice went undefeated for seven games. First winning seven in a row, and then after a tie with conference champions, Owen, winning six straight. This was a close group and

they carried that onto the field. The defense was steady, anchored by first time goalkeeper Mackenzie White, leading the team to 12 shutouts. The offense/attack unlike the JV’s was a lot more balanced with 18 players out of 21 contributing either goals and/ or assists this season. The team was led by Ellese Cash with 17 goals and one assist, and Sam Firby with nine goals and two assists for the season. McKenna Callahan and Lyric Flood had five goals, Kayla McEntire had four goals and Talia Petoia had three for the season. Alessandra Akers, Megan Clements and Lyric Flood led the team in assists with five each. Other contributors with goals were Candace Arrington, Jamie Greene, Emily Miller and Julie Meldgaard with two goals each; Megan Clements, Jordan Geer,

Makenzie White and Shiloh Wyatt with one goal a piece. Other contributions with assists Emily Miller and Julie Meldgaard with four, Cassidy Campbell with three; Mckenna Callahan and Kayla McEntire with two; and Naomi Bently, Leigh Deaver and Talia Petoia with one each. The team finished the regular season 13-7-1 overall, and 11-21 in WHC finishing third, behind Owen 11-0-3, and Hendersonville 11-1-2. Despite losing three games to end the season, the Wolverines made it to the third round of the playoffs, losing to eventual Western Champion South Iredell 0-1. Finishing with an overall record of 15-8-1 and being ranked #16 in the 2A poll. The team loses nine seniors after this season. – article submitted by Coach Lennox Charles

Remembering Willard on Memorial Day We lost another WWII veteran Sunday, May 26 from our little circle around the Oval Table at McDonalds, the second one this year. That means two fewer old guys sitting under the few trees in our local cemetery as the Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion lead a Memorial Day service. Some of the younger guys will steady the older veterans who have the honor of laying the wreath and symbolic flowers at the base of the flag pole after VFW Post Commander Scott Camp reads the General Order that established this Day of Remembering. May we ALWAYS REMEMBER, not “never forget” these men and women who gave up their tomorrows so that we might enjoy ours in freedom. As I joined the group at McDonalds this morning, preparations were being made for the events of the day. Max Jolley said to me simply that “We lost Willard

Willard always had yet another story for us, and he really did enjoy laughing with us. I shared with him my few Edsel stories, and he came back with a lot more of them for me. I told him that my Uncle Ethan had met my train at Spartanburg when I came home on leave from the Air Force. Ethan was driving a brand new Edsel and brought me home to Lynn in comfort and style. He then returned the car to the dealer after the “test drive.” Good news! As I was parking my folding chair under a large tent at the Memorial Day service this year, I commented to Jim and Pat Cowan that it sure was nice of FK McFarland to provide the “artificial trees” for our comfort.

Flag Day, June 14, 1777… Stars & Stripes, Grand Old Flag, Star-Spangled Banner, Old Glory or the Red-Whiteand Blue: Whatever you call our Nation’s flag, its birthday is celebrated on June 14 – Flag Day. Why June 14th? It was on June 14, 1777, that the Marine Committee of the Second Continental Congress passed the Flag Resolution, which stated: “Resolved, That the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in

a blue field, representing a new Constellation.” This standard with 13 stars and stripes representing the original 13 states became an enduring standard for our nation’s flag. On May 30, 1916, in response to more than three decades of schools, states, communities and individuals flying the flag and celebrating their own “flag day,” President Woodrow Wilson officially proclaimed June 14 as Flag Day. However, it was not until Aug. 3, 1949, that President

Harry S. Truman signed an Act of Congress designating June 14 of each year as National Flag Day. From 1912 until July 3 1959, during both of these official actions our nation’s flag displayed 48 stars. Today’s flag has 50 stars, one for each state and 13 alternating red and white stripes. Our nation’s second flag (1795 to 1818) was the most unusual of all or flags: It had 15 stars and 15 stripes representing our 15 states. This is the “Star Spangled Banner.” Then, in 1817 as Congress was deliberating a new national flag for 20 states they almost went back to the original 13 stars

Stop child sexual abuse

To the editor: If we can end slavery in this country, we can end child abuse. If we can stop polio, we can stop child fatalities. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no War Between the States for childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no vaccine against mean people. So how can we do this?

The funds for each child will be maintained in a separate account and each child will be treated equally even if they don't have equal needs. All parents should consider carefully how and who will raise their children in the event that they are not able to do so. We have a checklist of things parents need to consider when planning for their children. Please call if you would like a copy. For answers on this or other estate planning issues call (828) 696-1811.

Six of the 21 CNA’s who provide personal assistance for hospice patients in their homes, in nursing homes and assisted living facilities, and at the Hospice House in Landrum. In the words of one grateful Tryon family: “We can never thank the nurses and CNAs enough for your loving care of our husband and daddy.” Pictured, left to right, Trish Green, Charlene Dillard, Sharon Hughes, Mary Kirby, Debbie Denton and Miranda Jefferies (photo submitted by Marsha Van Hecke)

Hospice CNAs, a calling dedicated to dignity Talk to the Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) at Hospice of the Carolina Foothills about their jobs and common themes emerge: their love for meeting people from all walks of life and a respect for the dignity of their patients at a time when they’re facing life’s final journey. The CNAs serve an essential role wherever hospice care is needed, from Hospice House to nursing facilities to patients’ homes. They take and record vital signs, monitor medications and food and drink intake. They work closely with registered nurses and other medical staff to coordinate patient care. And, most importantly to the patients themselves, they assist with personal hygiene, change bed linens, keep rooms clean and neat and help feed and transport their patients. “I had a lady patient that would wait for me on her bath days,” says CNA Sharon Hughes. “She had all her toiletries ready, and loved this time. She said it was because I took the time to do her nails and curl her hair. It was important to her to look nice, even though she was sick. She took great pride in her looks. She called me her angel. But she was the angel.” Though Hughes has worked for hospice, intermittently, for 11 years, she’s been a caregiver most

of her life. She helped her parents after a bad accident, and took time off work to care for her father, a hospice patient, before his death. But her caring nature was formed in childhood. “I had a mentally challenged sister who was one year older than me, and I grew up being her little caregiver. She was my shadow all my life till she passed away two years ago,” Hughes says. “I believe that is what made me who I am today. Learning to care for her taught me that all people are important and a gift on this earth, and I believe it’s our responsibility to care for them, underprivileged, elderly or sick.” Like all of the CNAs interviewed, Hughes approaches her position with great humility. “They say it takes a special person to do this. I say it only takes heart.” Trish Green has been a CNA for hospice since 2002. She tells of one time when she truly “got lost” in her work. “I shaved my patient’s mustache off. He and I were talking away, while I just went about my job giving him a shave. When I came back for my next visit, he told me that I had shaved his mustache off. He had had it for 30 years. I told him, while we were laughing about it, that the funny part was that

he let me. To this day, his wife and I still laugh about that.” Previously, Green had worked in a department store, a grocery store, a mill and a long-term nursing facility. She enjoys spending time with her patients, working one-on-one with them and says hospice is a fulfilling place for her. Recently, she lost a patient she’d grown particularly fond of. “This man brought sunshine to my rainiest day. No matter how bad a day or week I was having, as soon as I walked in the door, all that bad went away,” she says, “He would say to me ‘It’s so good to have you. Is everyone as happy to see you as I am? I hope someone takes as good care of you when you get old as you do me.’ Then he’d send me on my way with two fun-size Snickers to keep me sweet. Though I know he’s at peace, it saddens me that I won’t be seeing his smiling face here on this earth. I know that I will one day see him in heaven, because he was such an angel to me.” In a former profession, Mary Kirby was a manager of a textile company shipping and receiving department. Six years ago, she took a CNA position at Hospice of the Carolina Foothills. She credits her career path to the divine. “God opened up this door for (Continued on page 27)

der says he had a calling to help others in need. “I enjoy helping others make the best of their last days,” he says, “My typical day is trying to make a difference in other people’s lives by showing that I care.” As often is the case, Hyder learned patients make a difference in their caregivers’ lives, too. “I had a patient who was a preacher. He called me into his room one night to sit and talk with him. He said God told him to ask me why I am doing this line of work and what my goals are. I told him that I truly felt it is my calling to help people. His reply was that he felt God wanted him to persuade me to reach my goal of finishing school, and that I would become a great nurse. It was a very touching conversation and it was our last before he passed.” Time and again, nurses share how they get as much, or more, from their patients and the families than they feel they give. Kirby tells of one patient, a man who couldn’t speak, but would give her the biggest smile when she walked into his room. She offers this advice for anyone interested in a career as a hospice CNA: “Be sure you love people first. Know that you want to help, not just punch a time clock.” - article submitted by Darlene Cah

me. I love people, and I like knowing that I can do things to help them. God was the one in control of this job.” Kirby brings her nurturing spirit to her patients in a unique way. “I sing with a lot of my patients. Most of them know ‘Jesus Loves Me.’ It seems to calm them down. I hold their hands and pray with them if they want,” she says. “We all need to remember that just because someone is in a nursing home or at home bed-bound, this does not mean that their lives are over. This is just another part, another step in life. Help them through this. Also remember your patients have families just like you do. Treat your patients with respect. Just know that this could be your own family member. Treat them the way you would want someone you love to be treated.” Jonathan Hyder has a long association with hospice work. For five years, he was the assistant manager of a hospice resale store. He’s been a CNA with Hospice of the Carolina Foothills for almost one year. In addition to his job responsibilities, he volunteers at the Hospice Thrift Barn and makes financial donations regularly. Hy-

St. Luke’s growth possible through community support Caring for our Community by Ken Shull

If you’ve driven around St. Luke’s Hospital lately, then you know we are growing. We are “Building Better Healthcare” for our community. On schedule to be completed by the end of this year, the new six-bed patient wing will provide an impressive, comfortable and spacious environment for our patients. Creating a patient-centered approach to care and recovery, our new wing will integrate the natural environment for healing and allow for more comfortable surroundings for patients and their families. In addition, we’re creating a state-of-the-art therapeutic gym to accommodate one-on-one therapy as well as one-on-one

a quicker recovery. To accommodate construction of the new wing, St. Luke’s Hospital has experienced quite a few

changes in the past few months. Several hospital departments have been relocated within the (Continued on page 29)

hospital or on the campus. Our business office, human resources and employee benefits offices have relocated to the renovated building just down the hill from the hospital’s main entrance. This new location for the business office should provide easier access and improved privacy for patients to pay a bill or discuss an issue. The hospital’s growing IT department was relocated to the former business office location. With ongoing needs for computerized technology and electronic medical records, this department is truly touching all areas of St. Luke’s, in and around the building and even across I-26 where we now have a presence in the newly renovated St. Luke’s Medical Building at 89 W. Mills St. One of the biggest, most anticipated moves in the hospital family has been the relocation of Dr. Brian Rosenberg’s orthopedic practice Rosenberg Bone and Joint. Since early May, Dr. Rosenberg’s practice has relocated to a great new office environment that better accommodates patient flow and medical technology. From all accounts, patients, staff and especially Dr. Rosenberg are pleased and impressed with the new location. Easy parking near the entrance is a nice benefit, as is the enlarged patient waiting area. With these changes, patients are happy to know that their phone number remains the same: 894-3718.

Sharing office space with Rosenberg Bone and Joint, St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation also moved from the hospital campus to impressive and comfortable office space in the newly renovated St. Luke’s Medical Building. That number also remains the same 894-2693. The Foundation Board and staff are also pleased with their new location, so drop by and say hello. Plans are underway for a July 10 Open House reception and ceremonial ribbon cutting. From 4-6 p.m., we’ll offer tours and refreshments for the community, so we hope you’ll take the opportunity to come by 89 W. Mills St. and see for yourself why we’re so excited. With all of the changes we’re experiencing at St. Luke’s Hospital, I can honestly say, “It’s time!” Our staff has, for many years, successfully worked around tight spaces, outdated surroundings and limited IT infrastructure. But it’s time to spread out, spruce up and connect, and we are able to grow because of our community’s support. Whether it’s for outpatient rehab, screening mammography or regular blood work, when you choose St. Luke’s Hospital for your medical and diagnostic needs, your hospital thrives. No doubt we are growing. With a new patient wing, a new medical office building and a new sense of purpose, we at St. Luke’s Hospital are energized and committed to exceptional care, close to home.

How to find lost life-insurance policies Dear Savvy Senior, When my father passed away we thought he had a life insurance policy, but we haven’t been able to track it down. Do you know of any resources that might help? - Searching Family Dear Searching, Lost or forgotten life-insurance policies are actually quite common in the U.S. In fact, it’s estimated that around $1 billion in benefits from unclaimed lifeinsurance policies are waiting to be claimed by their rightful beneficiaries. While unfortunately, there isn’t a national database for tracking down these policies, there are a number of strategies and a few new resources that can help your search. Here are several to get you started. Search records: If your dad died recently, searching through his financial records is a good first step. Check his files for a policy, records of premium payments or bills from an insurer. Also contact his employer or former employer benefits administrator, insurance agents, financial planner, accountant, attorney or other adviser and ask if they know about a life insurance policy. Also check safe-deposit boxes, monitor the mail for premium invoices or whole-life dividend notices, and review old income-tax returns, looking for interest income from, and interest expenses paid to life-

Savvy Senior insurance companies. Contact the insurer: If you suspect that a particular insurer underwrote the policy, contact that carrier’s claim office and ask. The more information you have, like your dad’s date of birth and death, Social Security number and address, the easier it will be to track down. Contact information of some big insurers include: Prudential 800-778-2255; MetLife metlife. com/policyfinder; AIG 800-8882452; Nationwide 800-848-6331; Forethought 800-331-8853; John Hancock johnhancock.com – click on “Contact Us” then on “Account Search Request.” Get state help: Some state insurance departments have a policy locator service program that can help you locate lost life insurance, or offer resources that can help you with your search. To reach your state insurance department, see the National Association of Insurance Commissioners website at naic.org – click on “States & Jurisdictions Map.” Search unclaimed property: If your dad died more than a few years ago, benefits may have already been turned over to the unclaimed property office of the state where the policy was purchased. Go to missingmoney. com, a website of the National Association of Unclaimed Prop-

erty Administrators, to search records from 38 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. The pull-down menu under Links connects you to a map and addresses for unclaimed-property agencies. Or, to find links to each state’s unclaimed-property division use unclaimed.org. If your dad’s name or a potential benefactor’s name produces a hit, you’ll need to prove your claim. Required documentation, which can vary by state, is detailed in claim forms, and a death certificate might be necessary. If you need a copy of your dad’s death certificate, contact the vital records office in the state where he died, or go to vitalchek.com. Tap MIB database: The MIB Group Inc., an insurance membership corporation whose main purpose is fighting fraud, offers a policy locator service to help consumers in their searches for life insurance policies. This service, however, only tracks applications for individual policies made since 1996. The service requires an original death certificate to get the ball rolling, and takes about seven to 10 days to produce a report. To learn more, visit policylocator.com. 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.

or donkeys in need of forever homes. The project began earlier in 2013 with a very generous matching fundraising challenge. The response to this challenge was overwhelmingly successful. Once the equine shed was in place, Don Williams of The Hay Rack donated fence posts, and Green Creek Farm Supply donated sturdy gates. Jonathan Rowe donated stone dust for combating mud problems and assisted with the grading. The fence building surrounding the shed was completed entirely by a volunteer crew. Troy

Norman operated the post hole digger, Steve King set the posts, Mike Lovelace and John Berlin measured and cut the oak boards. A “ladies crew” consisting of Patti Lovelace, Nancy Hasselbring, Cathy Berlin and Vard Henry nailed the boards to the posts. The equine shelter was completed solely by the generosity and hard work of Foothills Humane Society supporters. This project demonstrates the wonderful and caring community that exists in the Foothills area. - article submitted by Joyce L. Cox

It may not be a wel-known fact that Foothills Humane Society accepts more than dogs and cats as rescued animals. From time to time, they also assist equines in need. A recent addition to the shelter now allows equines to have a temporary home while awaiting forever homes. The “Safe Haven” shed and enclosure at Foothills Humane Society for rescued equines is finally complete. The project required lots of dedicated volunteers and generous donors. The resulting facility is perfect as a temporary shelter for horses
