2013 Blue Ridge Barbecue recap Aromas of barbecue spices and the sites and sounds emanating from the stage and carnival rides attracted more than 20,000 festival attendees to Tryon last weekend for the 20th annual Blue Ridge Barbecue and Music Festival. “Every year it’s been bigger, better and wonderful,” said cook team organizer Carl Wharton just before the awards ceremony on Saturday, June 15. “Mother Nature has been great to us.” Wharton then turned over the microphone to founders Charlie Neff and Jim Tabb. Neff, former chamber of commerce president, said when he approached his friend Jim Tabb more than 20 years ago about a need for a fundraising event for the local chamber, he had no idea what he was proposing, let alone that it would still be going strong. Neff said it took two years to make the first barbecue a reality. “And we’re still at it, thanks to

all the local volunteers, the contestant cookers, the food sellers, the Craft Fair participants, the music makers and literally hundreds and overall thousands who continue to participate in this event, which is considered by some to be in the top five or 10 nationally recognized festivals,” Neff said. This year’s festival chairman Chuck Britton said about 19,000 attendees paid for gate admission this year, according to preliminary numbers. He added, however, that those numbers don’t account for the numbers that traveled in with the 97 cook teams, with musicians, as vendors, as volunteers, with the classic cars and more. The festival did see about 450 more people come through the gates during the FREE FRIDAY session, Britton said. Organizers hope those visitors enjoyed themselves enough to make a return visit next year. “That’s the whole idea,” Britton said. “We want to get people in

here who have never experienced the festival and let them see what it is all about so maybe they’ll bring more family and friends with them next year on Saturday.”

Britton said the festival also enjoyed double the cars participating in the classic car show with (Continued on page 11)

more than 200 cars showing off their chrome. He noted the addition of two barbecue vendors as well as food vendors PF Changs and Larkins helped keep lines and wait times shorter. The increased number of cook teams participating – there were about 75 last year – also stiffened the competition. Grand Champion Walt Moulton with Rocky Top BBQ said he was floored as he consistently heard his team’s name being called in the various divisions – first place chicken, first place ribs, 12th place pork and third place brisket. “When you come out and do something like this – beat the caliber of teams that are out here … you’ve really done something,” Moulton said. “There’s a lot of good people here, so this is great.” Moulton said this was only the second time he had cooked his chicken with this particular recipe – sorry no secrets divulged – but

he felt it was “right on the money.” Trailing behind Rocky Top were Reserve Grand Champions John and Kathy Swift of Atmore, Ala.’s Wild Bunch Butt Burners. John Swift said it felt really good to do this well in a field of more than 90 teams. Kathy Swift agreed, “Today it feels really good. We turned in the best barbecue we could and to beat out some of these teams feels great.” The Wild Bunch came in fifth place in the Anything Butt competition, third place in chicken and fifth place in both ribs and pork. Overall winning teams placed as follows: third place – Hambones by the Fire of Yorktown, Va., fourth place – Smoke in the Mountains of Asheville, N.C., fifth place – Killer B’s of Evans, Ga., sixth place – The Blue Bloods of Hammond, La., seventh place – Smoke This of Hickory, N.C., eighth place – Chatham Artillery BBQ of Savannah, Ga., ninth place – Smoke on This of Lenior City, Tenn. and 10th place – Flaming Pig of Red Springs, N.C..

Charlie Neff and Jim Tabb, co-founders of the Blue Ridge Barbecue and Music Festival talk about the event’s 20th anniversary. Neff said this year was particularly special for him because it was not only the event’s 20th anniversary but also his 63rd anniversary with his wife, Marjorie.

admissions, judges, recycling and trash, cook teams and more were the 350-plus volunteers that Britton said put in multiple shifts to see the festival was a success. “As usual I can’t say enough

about our steering committee and all the people that volunteer their time to make this happen,” Britton said. “It’s hard work and we simply could not put this whole thing together without our volunteers.”

Melvin Stanley “Pete” Metcalf

Melvin Stanley “Pete” Metcalf, 68, of Spartanburg, left this world for his eternal home on Thursday, June 20, 2013, at White Oak Estates-Spartanburg, after a long struggle with cancer. Born April 6,

• Car chase (continued from page 1)

into North Carolina. The chase began when Lt. Scott Lindsey with the Tryon Police Department spotted the burgundy 1973 MG convertible with another car following closely behind her. Randy Greene, owner of Campobello Cars, said earlier that morning he saw the woman pull up to the intersection across from his car lot in Campobello and thought, “You know, that looks like my car.” Greene said he kept the car under cover of a carport and hadn’t even noticed the car was gone until

1945, in Tryon, he was the son of the late O B. and Edith Liza Morgan Metcalf. Pete loved and was loved by many family and friends. A veteran of the U. S. Air Force, he was a graduate of Tryon High School and employed with Spartanburg Steel. He was a member of Tryon Second Baptist Church. Survivors include his beloved

wife, Belinda Metcalf; children, Anitra Cantrell (Joey) of Boiling Springs, S.C., and Jamie Riggs (Brooklyn) of Anderson, S.C.; also surviving are four step-children; 10 grandchildren; one great-grandchild; brother, William “Bill” Metcalf (Elenda) of Campobello, S.C.; and sisters, Judy Burns (Jim) of Easley, S.C., Trudy Kirby of Spartanburg, S.C. and Kay Rosborough (Gene) of Boiling Springs, S.C.

A memorial service, with military rites, will be conducted at 4 p.m. Saturday, June 22, 2013, at Floyd’s North Church Street Chapel, 235 N. Church St., Spartanburg, S.C. 29306, by the Rev. Andy Case. Memorials may be made to the American Cancer Society, 154 Milestone Way, Greenville, S.C. 29615. An online guest register is available at www.floydmortuary.com

then. When he saw the car at the intersection, he went to check on the convertible that should have been on his lot only to realize it was gone. Greene said he excused himself from his customer, jumped in his own car and began following the woman. “I got in my car and caught up with her on the other side of Landrum High School. She wasn’t speeding or doing anything stupid,” Greene said. Greene said he called the 911 dispatcher and kept them aware of what was going on. He said when he got to Tryon, he saw a police officer in about the middle of town,

flashed his lights at the officer and pointed to the convertible. Greene said the woman in the convertible pulled into the used car lot of Stott’s Ford before running a stop light and heading on toward Columbus. As the driver of the stolen car entered into Columbus, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office and Columbus Police Department assisted with deploying stop sticks near Mountain View Barbecue to slow the vehicle, according to the Tryon Police Department. The stop sticks successfully resulted in all four tires being deflated. The suspect continued a short distance

attempting to turn onto Interstate 26 East, where the vehicle struck the guardrail and went a short distance down Rhonda Maddox the ramp embankment, coming to rest next to the interstate. Maddox is currently in the custody of the Columbus Police Department.

Tryon Commissioner Miller says he will finish out term Tryon commissioner Roy Miller made a statement during council’s meeting on Tuesday, June 18 saying he was sorry for his actions regarding his guilty plea for food stamp fraud, that his actions were motivated by helping someone in need and that he is committed to serve out the remainder of his term. Miller pled guilty to one count of misdemeanor conspiracy to defraud the USDA’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) on May 22. He later said he was housing and helping a local homeless person, “R.M.” as named in the federal incident report. Miller said the incident to which he plead guilty occurred because he took R.M. to a local store to buy groceries and the store would not allow R.M. to come in. Miller admits he went into the store with R.M.’s EBT card and pin number, said he purchased items and gave them

to R.M. as well as his card and Town of Tryon and the citizens, I am sorry. I love Tryon and am receipt. Miller made his statement fully committed to continuing at Tryon’s meeting saying he’s to serve the citizens of Tryon sure that everyone has read for the remainder of my term.” There is no local or state law about and been told about his recent guilty plea related to regarding elected officials being convicted of or the food stamp “I do want to emphasize pleading guilty program. to a misde“ B e y o n d my actions, though meanor having what has been to step down published al- unfortunate, were r e a d y, I a m motivated by the sincerest from office. “If the counreally not at actions, that of helping cil member has liberty to displeaded guilty cuss the mat- someone in need.” -- Commissioner Roy Miller t o a m i s d e ter further, on meanor, there is the advice of no effect on his my attorney, however, I do want to em- eligibility to continue to serve phasize my actions, though on the council,” said Robert unfortunate, were motivated Joyce with the N.C.

And to whatever in elective office under the degree I’ve embarrassed the North Carolina Constitution,

Article VI, Section 8, which specifies that a person is disqualified for elective office if he/she “has been adjudged guilty of treason or any other felony against this State or the United States.” Miller’s plea was in violation of Title 7, United States Code, Section 2024 (b)(1), a misdemeanor. He was never arrested for the offense. Miller’s sentencing date, which will occur in Asheville, has not yet been set. He faces a maximum of one year in prison, a probationary period of five years and a $250,000 fine, according to the U.S. District’s Attorney’s Office. Miller was the high votegetter in Tryon during the 2011 election and won a four-year term. He will be up for reelection in 2015. Miller has served as a Tryon councilman since 2003 and currently serves as mayor pro-tem.

Landrum High School’s salutatorian speech from Kaitlyn Dill Welcome, students, faculty, staff, parents, friends and family. I would like to thank you for being here on this special day to recognize Landrum High School’s Class of 2013. Congratulations, Class of 2013, we made it to graduation day. This momentous day, that seemed like it would never come, is finally here. I’ve known some of my classmates since we were very small, having our own little weddings on the preschool playground with rings made of clover. It seems like just the other day some of us were graduating with a circus theme from kindergarten at O.P. Earle. Then we blinked and we were walking on the black line at Landrum middle. Soon after, we were going to high school and starting a new chapter in our lives. We were not sure if we would like the “Campobello Kids” and the Campobello Kids probably were not sure if they’d like us Landrum

and, although that is important, so is everything along the way. Life is all about your choices. Make the choice to live well and live fully. Take action and make a positive difference; like Ghandi once said, “You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no results.” So get out there and try new things, take chances and do your best. You can do it! These people in attendance tonight, who are here to support us and to see us off to our futures, have been able to watch us grow. The mixed happiness, sadness, and relief we feel today are evidence of the hard work we have put forth. Though most of us have someone to whom we have looked

for advice and encouragement, we ourselves are now the role models. Our success should be a quest to better ourselves, not to impress those rooting us on or to prove wrong those who wish us ill. We can’t depend on someone else to supply motivation for us; the greatest motivation comes from within. Do you want to succeed? Are you willing to give 110 percent to reach your goals? Find your passion and feed the fire of potential that burns within you. Look back on your book of life; are you content with what is written? You can’t re-write what you have already written but you have a chance to make the next chapters in your book exceptional. It’s up to you We are now ready for our new journey, just like starting kindergarten, or Landrum High School, all over again. Congratulations Class of 2013!

Spirit of community makes our area special I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – we are so blessed to live, work and play in the foothills. This place is like no other I have experienced. Lots of places lay claim to the fact that they are unique but our area truly is something to brag about far and wide. Perhaps it has something to do with my coming home “so to speak “ that I find myself so comfortable here. It seems not a month goes by that I don’t discover another family relationship with someone in the area. I’m sure that has something to do with it for me personally but in talking with others I believe there is more to it than that. One of the things that makes this area stand out is people here really know how to have fun. We get involved, and while we are certainly not perfect and

have our individual opinions, Janet Sciacca and special events we still manage to pull together, coordinator Christina Feagan, get things done and have fun along with board members could doing it.

How to prevent senior financial fraud Dear Savvy Senior, Can you offer some tips on protecting seniors from financial scams? My neighbor ’s elderly mother was recently swindled out of $10,000 and I want to make sure my own mother is protected. - Troubled daughter Dear Troubled, Financial scams that target the elderly continue to be a big problem in the U.S. In fact, it’s estimated that some 5 million Americans over age 60 are scammed out of roughly 3 billion every year. Here are some tips that can help you spot a scam, and what you can do to protect your mom. Scam watching Spotting a scam or a con artist is not always easy to do. They range from shady financial advisers to slick-talking telemarketers to professional caregivers and relatives who steal from the very people they’re supposed to be looking after. The most common scams targeting seniors today come in the form of free-lunch seminars selling dubious financial products, tricky/high-pressure telemarketing calls and endless junk mail peddling free vacation packages, sweepstakes, phony charity fundraisers and more. And, of course, there’s the ongoing problem of identity theft, Medicare fraud, door-todoor scams, credit card theft, and Internet and email scams. The best way to spot a scam

is to help your mom manage her finances or at least monitor her accounts. Reviewing her financial statements each month can alert you to questionable checks, credit card charges or large withdrawals. If, however, she doesn’t want you looking at her financial records, there are other clues. For example: Is she getting a lot of junk mail for contests, free trips and sweepstakes? Is she receiving calls from strangers offering awards or moneymaking deals? Also notice if her spending habits have changed, if she has complained about being short of money lately, or has suddenly become secretive or defensive about her finances. All these may be signs of trouble. Protect your parent The most effective way to help protect your mom is to alert her to the different kind of scams out there. The easiest way to do this is by visiting the Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force website (stopfraud. gov – click on “Protect Yourself”), where you can get a rundown on the different types of scams making the rounds. The Better Business Bureau Scam Stopper site at bbb.org/ scam-stopper is another good resource. If your mom doesn’t have access to a computer, print out the materials yourself and use them to start a conversation.

(continued from page 24)

It’s also a good idea to keep close tabs on your mom’s social circle. Has she acquired any questionable new friends lately or is she seeing anyone who’s giving her advice, financial or otherwise? Some other tips to protect her include reminding her to never give out her Social Security number or financial information unless she initiated the contact and knows the institution. Also, see if your mom would be willing to let you sort her mail before she opens it so you can weed out the junk. To reduce the junk mail and/or email she gets, use the Direct Marketing Association consumer opt-out service at dmachoice.org. And to stop credit card and insurance offers, use the Consumer Credit Reporting Industry opt-out service at optoutprescreen.com or call 888-567-8688 – they will ask

for your mom’s Social Security number and date of birth. Also, register your mom’s home and cell phone numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry (donotcall.gov, 888382-1222) to reduce telemarketers. And help her get a free copy of her credit report at annualcreditreport.com to make sure she isn’t a victim of identity theft. Report it If you suspect your mom has gotten scammed, report it to your state securities regulator’s office (see nasaa.org for contact information), or your state’s Adult Protective Services agency (call 800-677-1116 for contact information) that investigates reports of elderly financial abuse. 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.

Water proof your life this summer Each year around this time I present this topic because, as warmer weather arrives, more people participate in aquatic activities like swimming, skiing, fishing and boating. Even if they don’t actually plan to get in many folks are close to or at least around bodies of water like pools, lakes, ponds, rivers, creeks and even the ocean. As a WSI (water safety instructor) for the American Red Cross, I have been a water safety consultant to the United States Marine Corps, certified lifeguards, taught swimming and run large aquatic facilities. Statistically, in the United States, 50 percent of all those who drown each year never intended to get in the water in the first place. Also, nearly 1,000 children drown each year. It’s absolutely crucial to learn how to keep you and your family safe in and around water. This is called “water proofing.” Children need constant supervision. Some kids have no fear of water, but also have no breath control. Did you know young children can drown in just 2 inches of water? This means that extreme care should be taken not just in swimming pools, but also in bathtubs, sinks, wading pools, fountains, toilets, buckets, even ditches filled with rainwater. Make no mistake - drowning can occur very quickly, so never let children out of your sight for even a few seconds. I once had to jump off a second story balcony to rescue a 5-year-old whose mother took her eyes off him for just a few seconds. Make sure you teach your kids to swim early on. Even children under one year old should learn.

Diet & Exercise by David Crocker Make sure your kids are taught by qualified instructors. All kids should be constantly supervised, no matter what their skill level. Infants and small children should have an adult within arm’s reach. This is called “touch supervision.” Make sure your kids have Coast Guard-approved flotation devices, like life vests, on whenever they are near water. Make sure the vest has a strap that fits down between the legs, and has a collar to keep the child’s head up, and his or her face out of the water. All swimmers, regardless of age or skill level, should swim with a buddy. There have been many good swimmers, even lifeguards, who drowned because they became over confident and got into trouble in the water. Also, remember, it only takes a teaspoon of water in the lungs to drown you. I recommend swimmers take life-saving classes. Know your limits. Swimming in lakes, rivers or oceans is not the same as swimming in a pool, because you have to account for moving currents (even lakes have underwater currents), rocks, stumps, branches and other underwater debris. This takes more of your energy and could easily cause you to snag a foot, hand, arm or other body part, trapping you under water. If you do find yourself in water unexpectedly, or if you get in trouble in the water, don’t panic. If you relax your muscles, you’ll float much easier. If you tense up, you’ll tend to sink. Also, if you

panic, you will run out of air faster. If you find yourself in a current, swim with the current and gradually try to make it to shore. One other condition I would like to mention “dry drowning.” Dry drowning occurs when a person’s lungs are unable to take in oxygen, due to breathing in a very small amount of water. Even while the water prevents the lungs from oxygenating the blood, the heart does not slow down, so the person can still walk and talk, but then later dies from lack of oxygen. Sometimes in dry drowning, the larynx goes into spasms, called laryngospasm. This also deprives the victim of oxygen. A sudden change in a person’s mood or personality, energy level, agitation, sleepiness, vomiting, involuntary defecation or extreme lethargy may be a sign of oxygen deprivation. If any of these signs are observed get medical help immediately. Diet or exercise question? Email me at dwcrocker77@gmail. com, or visit fitness4yourlife.org.

Not my friend, that stuff has been known to leap buildings to find me â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just looking at it causes skin to crawl and itch.

Nope, we just have to ask for trouble. We just have to get instant revenge. To my great relief, I did not start itching after doing such a foolhardy deed in the heat of battle. To be honest, it

Lee C. Mulligan, Esq. HOW CAN A GIFT BE A PROBLEM? Q. Can a gift cause unanticipated problems for the recipient? A. Sometimes we are asked to draft wills or trusts to â&#x20AC;&#x153;leave my estate to my sister Joanâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;$10,000 to my niece, Mary.â&#x20AC;? This may not be the wisest thing to do particularly if the recipient is elderly or otherwise receiving governmental assistance. Your gift might disqualify them for ing home for payment for their care. When making a bequest to a person who is or soon will be over 65, it is better to condition the gift on the recipient not residing in a nursing home.

Ditto, Lennie, isn’t he adorable?” Inside was this cute little tuxedo kitten with a long pink cast on his front leg. “He’s a purr machine,” Elaine said, reaching in to grab him. Right on cue the purring began as Elaine gently cradled him. I have since held him often, but at that moment I lost it and went outside to pray. Tears freely flowed down my

cheeks as I prayed, “I know what you’re up to, Lord, and the broken leg was a nice touch. I’ll see that Ditto gets all that he needs as I’m sure you’ll do for my sweet Georgia till I get to see her again. There’ll be lots of my kids there vying for my attention but she’ll know what to do. She’ll just push her way through till she winds up at my feet. Two more things, Lord, if I may. Tell sweet Georgia that she’ll always be on my mind, and thanks for Ditto.”

TROT, Therapeutic Riding of Tryon, held its annual Volunteer Appreciation and Student Recognition picnic recently at FENCE. It was a celebration with games, food and fun. Foothills Mountain Bar-B-Cue owner Paul Dale donated the lunch. The TROT program could not exist without our volunteers. “In fact the whole program is run by volunteers, and we appreciate them all,” said Robbie Hambright. Each year, the organization tries to honor a volunteer who has gone the extra mile with an award called the Golden Stirrup. This year, TROT had two winners. Judy Banks was awarded a Golden Stirrup. As a retired speech therapist, Banks brought a knowledge of people with special needs that makes her very effective in working with TROT students. In addition, Banks, quickly took on the extra responsibility of becoming a lead volunteer one day a week. She was always there when TROT needed her. Llyn Josef was also awarded a Golden Stirrup. Joseph recently moved to Columbus from Buffalo, NY. She brings her horse, Chester to TROT. Chester is an experienced therapy horse and Josef is a retired special education teacher. Together, they made a wonderful team. Josef and Chester contributed a great deal to their students riding experience. “We are extremely fortunate to have Judy and Llyn as members of our dedicated group of volunteers,” Hambright said. Therapeutic Riding of Tryon (TROT) changes and enriches lives by teaching horsemanship skills to adults and children with physical, cognitive, developmental and emotional challenges in a safe, friendly and supportive environment. TROT is a program of FENCE. For more information visit www.fence.org/trot. – article submitted by Robbie Hambright
