Saluda approves planning board recommendations

by Samantha Hurst

After holding a special called public hearing June 26, Saluda’s Board of Commissioners approved an exemption to its land disturbance ordinance as well as new definitions for junk, junkyards, mobile homes and modular homes within the city limits.

Planning board member Henry Bright attended the public hearing to offer clarification for any of the proposed changes. He said the cur-

rent land disturbance ordinance in the city, Section 3.10, requires a sketch map of any work to be done that disturbs 400 or more square feet to include cuts and graded slopes, property lines, setback lines, existing and proposed buildings, roads, driveways and drainage ditches within the property, bordering streets, inlets, culverts, swells, ditches, etc.

He said it also calls for the landowner to explain what tem-

porary and permanent erosion control measures will be used on the project.

“That really is at the heart of what is required,” Bright said.

The unanimously approved exemption provides that “home gardens, community gardens, garden club projects, home landscaping or lawn preparation of existing parcels be exempted from permitting fees unless erosion, drainage and slope stabilization concerns neces-

sitate a land disturbance permit …”

Councilman Leon Morgan voted for the exemption but clarified that he doesn’t want to see people’s landscaping work cause issues for their neighbors, either.

“I say if it leaves your property, it’s in violation,” Morgan said.

Councilman George Sweet also said the planning board should consider whether or not an exemption is needed for scraping or grading of existing driveways.

Town of Columbus releases 2012 annual water quality report This year, the Town of Columbus and other water providers across the state were allowed to distribute their 2012 Annual Water Quality Reports via notices on monthly utility bills.

The 2012 Annual Water Qual-

ity Report is available at http:// bit.ly/17k6hgm and also available in paper format at Columbus Town Hall, located at 95 Walker Street in Columbus. The Town has placed the full report on the bulletin board outside Town Hall

and will have this report available in its entirety for those interested.

The report contains information about the town’s drinking water, annual testing results and much more detailed information related to the town’s drinking wa-

ter supply as required by federal and state law. More information on this report or any public water or supply issues are available at Columbus Town Hall.

Remember to treat the flag with care

by Kailey Young

With the arrival of Independence Day, many people will sport the American flag proudly displaying their patriotism and love of country. But according to section 8d of the Federal Flag Code, “The flag should never be used as wearing apparel.�

The Bulletin recently spoke with community members about proper flag etiquette. Several said they often see people displaying flags improperly - most of the time without even knowing it.

The most common mistake people make is leaving the American flag up all night, without properly displaying it with lights.

John Allen Albree, LTC, USA, (Ret) said properly displaying our nation’s flag is crucial. “I think that particularly when our country is at war, it is imperative that American citizens display the American flag and thus show proper respect for it and love of country.

I think that it is also imperative that Americans, whether they be veterans or otherwise, give

proper respect to the flag during the pledge of allegiance and the playing of the national anthem. The most important place for our children to learn these acts of patriotism is in the home.� Another great place to learn about patriotism through proper flag display is at our very own House of Flags Museum in Columbus.

Robert Williamson, Chairman, says that “Flag etiquette is more than just properly displaying the flag; it is about how we care for it and how we handle it. Flag etiquette is an important part of the nation’s history and part of the patriotism that we should show for our flag and our nation’s history. At the House of Flags Museum, our mission is to teach people about proper flag etiquette, patriotism and flag history.�

So this Independence Day, while you sit back and enjoy the fireworks, think about what patriotism means to you, and if you have a flag, either at your home or at work, ask yourself if you are giving it the proper respect that it deserves.

The Veterans of Foreign

Wars website provides basic flag etiquette and the Flag Code: Displaying the flag: On Same Staff: U.S. flag at peak, above any other flag.

Grouped: U.S. flag goes to its own right. Flags of other nations are flown at same height.

Marching: U.S. flag to marchers right (observer’s left).

On speaker’s platform: When displayed with a speaker’s platform, it must be above and behind the speaker. If mounted on a staff it is on the speaker’s right.

Decoration: Never use the flag for decoration. Use bunting with the blue on top, then white, then red.

Salute: All persons present in uniform should render the military salute. Members of the armed forces and veterans who are present but not in uniform may render the military salute. All other persons present should face the flag and stand at attention with their right hand over the heart, or if applicable, remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over

the heart.

Half Staff: On special days, the flag may be flown at half-staff. On Memorial Day it is flown at halfstaff until noon and then raised.

Do not let the flag touch the ground.

Do not fly flag upside down unless there is an emergency.

Do not carry the flag flat, or carry things in it.

Do not fasten it or tie it back.

Always allow it to fall free.

Flag Disposal: 1. The flag should be folded in its customary manner.

2. It is important that the fire be fairly large and of sufficient intensity to ensure complete burning of the flag.

3. Place the flag on the fire.

4. The individual(s) can come to attention, salute the flag, recite the Pledge of Allegiance and have a brief period of silent reflection.

5. After the flag is completely consumed, the fire should then be safely extinguished and the ashes buried.

6. Please make sure you are conforming to local/state fire codes or ordinances.

as grateful as i am for cold watermelon on this independence day, i am even more grateful for the gift of religious liberty. in the first amendment to the u.S. Constitution we are told, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”

J. Brent Walker, executive director of the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty, explains, “the first amendment has two religion clauses which protect religious liberty, but by different means. the establishment Clause (“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion”) keeps government from advancing or privileging any religion or religion in general. the sec-

ond clause, the free exercise Clause (“or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”), keeps government from interfering with religious practice absent some paramount governmental interest such as peace, safety, or public health and welfare.” most Christians unanimously celebrate the free exercise Clause, but when it comes to the no establishment Clause, the reviews are mixed. the reality, however, is that you cannot have one without the other. true religious liberty requires that the church (or synagogue, or mosque) be separate from the state. t h e Vi rg i n i a B a p t i s t preacher, John Leland (17541841), offered this prophetic (continued on page 9)

Pan, work well together. They perform several duets such as “Pocahontas — The Dating Scene” where, dressed up like Minnehaha and Pocahontas looking for husbands at a bar, they bemoan the fact that they are still single. Brightman also shines as Attila the Hun, wearing an oil funnel for a helmet and bragging in “Attila” that he may be mean but everyone calls him “hun.”

The puns in the lyrics and pratfalls by the actors are richly complemented by the imagi-

native costuming of Leeanne Deaver, such as balls of yarn sewn together as head pieces for “Asian Ladies” and a mantel clock for Napoleon’s hat.

Director and choreographer Amy Jones utilizes the Hendersonville playhouse space well, with players frenetically scampering around for set changes and often breaking the fourth wall by offering canopies and flyers to the audience as prospective backers and more. The result of all of these zany elements brings the house down in non-stop laughter during the 90-minute show.

To the editor: Sergeant First Class Kimberly Walker has spent just as much time out of our country as she has at home.

Her tours of duty include a humanitarian visit to Pakistan and twice to war zones in the Middle East. On her last tour in Afghanistan, Sergeant Walker was injured and two of her vertebrae had to be replaced. After a few months of medical leave and R&R, she recovered and was sent to her new duty in Colorado Springs. While on duty stateside, she received word that one of her boys, Specialist Robert Ellis was struck by a mortar round and was killed. Sergeant Walker went to her commanding officer and asked and received permission to escort Specialist Ellis home.

She was flown to Delaware as the NCIOC, non-commissioned officer in charge, where she received four flag draped caskets.

After she presided over full honors for our fallen, a police and motorcycle escort accompanied them to the funeral home for forensics.

The following morning, Specialist Ember Alt was escorted to South Carolina.

Sergeant William Moody

(father lAnDFill of three) was escorted to Texas.

SeRviCe Sergeant Justin Johnson was escorted to Florida and Sergeant (Phil) - 859-2054 Walker boarded a plane 8am-6pmto Kennewick, Wash. with her 20-yearold soldier, Spc. Ellis. She was alone with just the pilot and co-pilot 1x1 as she made sure every detail 2/14of reverence was afforded her soldier.

3/10,13, 16 she presented In Washington, to Jon and Joelle, Spc. Robert Ellis’ parents and his younger brother Jimmy.

Sergeant Walker stayed for every funeral service straight through his burial with honors.

After, the first Sergeant Walker called her parents and her father answered. “Dad,” she said weeping, “This was the most difficult duty I’ve ever pulled.”

“Kim,” I answered, weeping along with her, “I have never been more proud of you than I am at this very moment.”

I will be writing a letter to the Ellis’ thanking them for their sacrifice. I will get as many VFW friends to sign it and I will try to get our newspaper to contact theirs to have it published.

In the meantime, enjoy our Independence Day and as you celebrate, never forget what Specialist Robert Ellis died for.

The 440th Army Band

The 440th Army Band set to entertain Tryon with patriotic tunes The 440th Army Band has served as the state’s National Guard band under several designations since the early 1900s.

The band was activated in World War II as the 30th Infantry Division Band along with the rest of the North Carolina National Guard as the “Old Hickory Division.” The band served with distinction, landing on the beach at Normandy and fighting in the Battle of the Bulge for which the band carries honors awarded by France and Belgium.

The band was re-designated the 440th Army Band in 1973.

The band performs for troops and their families and for the citizens of North Carolina at ceremonies, public concerts and parades. As the 440th Army Band, the band has performed two concert tours

in the Virgin Islands, and toured Guatemala, Morocco, Costa Rica and Italy. Since Sept. 11, 2001 the Band has performed more than 500 ceremonies for deploying and returning North Carolina National Guardsmen and their families.

The 440th Army Band is comprised of citizen soldiers, who in civilian life are college students, educators and business professionals. The band has earned numerous awards including Outstanding North Carolina National Guard unit and the Eisenhower trophy three times as an outstanding Army unit.

The 440th currently has 34 members and is commanded by Chief Warrant Officer/CW2 Brent M. Harvey, who in civilian life is a professor of music at WinstonSalem State University.

The mission of Army bands has changed over the past decade. The need for smaller units with flexibility and variety in use developed a modular structure within Army bands. Although the concert band still performs, the majority of the missions are supported with music performance teams.

Concert band: All members participate in the concert band.

A typical “pops” concert by the concert band is usually an hour in length and consists of military marches, contemporary music, classical or traditional music and patriotic music.

Hosts include small towns, large towns, battlefields or memorials such as the Battleship North Carolina, and special festivals or celebrations. Examples

of recent hosts from our recent annual statewide summer concert tour include: Wilmington 4th of July event, Blowing Rock Park, Stokes County Park Amphitheatre, Tryon Palace, Odell Williams Auditorium in Supply, Festival Park Roanoke Island, Manteo, N.C. and numerous VA Hospitals throughout the state.

The 440th also back fills for deployed active duty bands most recently for the 10th Mountain Division Band at Fort Drum, N.Y. in 2006.

The Army band also includes various combinations of players for the marching band, Jazz Patriots, Jazz Combo, Jazz Octet, Vanguard. Liberty Brass, Guardsmen and Freedom Four.

Remembering Holland, the raconteur architect

by Garland Goodwin

As with many who earn the Medal of Honor, Holland Brady’s recognition by the Town of Tryon, planned for his 88th birthday, had to be awarded posthumously. We would all have liked it better had he been there to answer the charges as only he could.

At the services for the late Seth Vining Jr., Holland quipped that when he agreed to speak of his friend, he did not realize that he would be following three members of the clergy. Well, today he went on ahead of the three clergymen there to see him off in style.

Seth Jr., Jim Jackson and Holland graduated from Tryon High School at a time that I have always referred to as its Golden Age. The boys were bigger than many men, and played winning football games all around. The girls were all beautiful and “above average,” as Garrison Keillor might say. They were graduating as I entered and earned the respect of the townspeo-

ple as well as the student body for as in buildings. After observing the being over-achievers who fulfilled work of some talented architects, I many dreams as their lives unfolded. made what proved to be the better Holland went to work with lo- choice for me: airplanes.

Miss Baldwin obliged!

His brother Carroll says Holland loved to tell stories. that is all he ever wanted to be, but He always had a story to go with I was just as interested in airplanes everything. The reason I call him a

raconteur instead of a mere storyteller, is that with Holland telling, you didn’t have to wait for the ending to enjoy it. There is a difference between exquisite detail and boring trivia, and that is largely in the ear of the listener. I always had trouble reading Dickens because I wanted him to get on with it — just tell me the story, I don’t need a history of England! With Holland’s delivery and timing, it was grins and chuckles long before the end.

I think this was the first celebration of life I have attended at the Congregational church when I did not see Holland singing in the choir.

I went early because I wanted a place to park and a place to sit. Sure, the family took up several rows, but folding chairs soon appeared at the ends of the pews. Some wag has observed that attendance at your funeral will depend largely upon whether it rains. Thunder rolled and the rains came. Reminded me of when Beethoven left this world: it noticed.

Hock injections take patience and skill

• Calendar

by Kirk Gollwitzer

(continued from page 2)

A sudden lack of enthusiasm towards work may be the sign of painful hocks in horses.

Intense pain caused by a measurable loss of cartilage and synovial fluid can lead to further joint damage, flexion loss, arthritis and lameness. While thoroughbreds commonly present with sore and arthritic hocks, the conditions can be found in all horses both young and old.

Dr. Kris Woodaman, a Tryon vet, treats equine hock problems frequently.

Every step she takes to both diagnose the horse’s condition and then deliver treatment can be laborious and time consuming. Determining range of motion on a large horse sometimes requires the help of an assistant to support the horse for balance.

Next Woodaman must keep the horse completely still during radiographic imaging in order to obtain a clear shot. The imaging is done in a dark barn with a brightly lit computer monitor and a motionless horse. Each shot must be checked for quality before the next image is taken.

The results of these tests, however, provide Woodaman with a clear indication of the hock’s condition allowing a more precise treatment plan.

Woodaman said that the hock is a complex joint made up of four separate compartments similar in theory to the human ankle.

When the lower compartments become damaged a decision must be made as to whether hock injections are necessary.

Blends of hyaluronic acid (HA), at the correct molecular weight, along with long acting steroids are injected into the lower joints. The injectable drugs balance the joints requirements for lubrication and protection. It is also believed that injecting HA actually stimulates the naturally production of synovial fluids.

Woodaman assures that prior to hock injections the horse is sedated and a sterile environ-

ment is maintained, in order to prevent post injection infection.

Woodaman ties up the horse’s tale, wears sanitary gloves and washes both sides of each hock with chlorhexidine or povidone-iodine for at least seven minutes.

As with many medical treatments the preparation time may take longer than the actual injection procedure. However the process of inserting the needle is both a balancing act and an art. The drowsy horse must be oriented properly as the Woodaman uses her finger to feel the anatomical geography of the joint structure.
