earthwork such as moving and excavating, demolition of existing structures and well drilling.

The new well for the plant was dug a few weeks ago, with the contractor having to dig an extra 100 feet down in order to get adequate pressure. The new well will serve the plant only and was dug at 450 feet and resulted in producing 75 gallons of water per minute, which is more than adequate to serve the plant, said Kanipe.

Kanipe also said during the drilling, an artesian well was uncovered which means the final well installation will have to be vented to allow for this pressure to dissipate around the well. The old well was filled with grout and will be capped with the contactor providing all necessary certification regarding the old well, according to Kanipe.

The next step in the rehabilitation is the demolition of the existing laboratory/office and construction of the new building. Construction of the new sludge tank will begin within the next 90 days, Kanipe said.

Final construction is scheduled to be complete on April 15, 2014.

“The contractor and engineer seem to work well together, and the state inspector indicated that this project was on the right foot moving forward,” Kanipe told council.

Council was also updated that the town received documentation from the state last month that the debt service for the project will not begin until May 2014, which was expected, but

Kanipe said it was good to see a proposed schedule for the town’s debt service payments.

Columbus just began its new budget year on Monday, July 1 with no increases to the water/ sewer rates this year but is expecting to raise rates slightly over the next few years to help pay back the loan for the wastewater treatment plant project.

Council in February approved a $2,445,940 construction bid with Buchanan and Sons Inc. as the contractors on the project.

The town is borrowing $3 million from the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources State Revolving Loan and Reserves at no interest. The town’s total project budget ordinance is $3,241,112, with plans to borrow $3 million and pay $241,112 from the town’s budget.

50 years of Saluda’s Coon Dog Day

by Samantha Hurst

William “Hop” Foster was 23 when he smelled the smoky aroma of barbecued chicken wafting through the air of downtown Saluda at the first Coon Dog Day. Foster proudly proclaims (though it gives away his age) that he’s been to all 50 festivals and this Saturday he will be the Grand Marshal.

“I think it’s a privilege – I always thought, ‘Maybe one of these days I’ll get a chance,’” he said. “I’m going to get up in that convertible and wave my arm off.”

Many would say Foster deserves the opportunity. He, along with other Saluda long-timers, remember how George Johnson launched the chicken dinner with a bunch of other men so they could raise money to buy coons to stock the woods.

“I remember like it was yesterday that chicken cooking,” Foster said. “I can see them right now.

You could smell it; Lordy, they’d roll that chicken in cornmeal and throw it over the hot coals.”

So, they started cooking chicken at about 4 o’clock in the morning, Foster said, and would have music and a parade to go with it.

Over the past five decades the festival has grown significantly from a few hundred attendees to thousands. The event now includes music from 8:30 a.m. – 11 p.m., a 5k race, a parade, a treeing contest, homemade crafts, a street dance and more.

Many say what they like most about the annual parade is that anyone can join in – there are no fees or registration requirements.

“We invite everyone to come; bring an old car, a homemade float,” Foster said. “A couple from Tryon called and asked me what it cost to participate and I told them, ‘Nothing, just put a sign on your vehicle.’”

The parade often consists of homemade floats, tractors, fire trucks, horses, motorcycles, dogs and the reigning Coon Dog Royalty Court. The parade begins at 11 a.m. and marches down Main Street for more than an hour.

Trophies are awarded for the best floats and the Master of Ceremonies – Hop Foster – announces the floats.

If you want to be in the Coon Dog Day parade, you need only to show up at the intersection of Ozone Dr. and Thompson Rd/ Louisiana Ave. by 10 a.m. and an officer will get you lined up.

“My favorite part is getting up and going to eat a big breakfast for everybody and then watching everything – seeing everyone come in and lining up everyone for the parade,” Foster said.

Before vehicles and moving people set off in the parade, runners make their way through historic downtown as part of the Coon Dog Day 5K. Registration for the 5K can be taken care of at (Continued on page 7)

Saturday morning. Visit the Coon Dog Day 5K Facebook page for last year’s photos and new information.

Paid parking for Coon Dog Day will be at the Party Place & Event Center. The parking fee will include shuttle transportation for everyone in the vehicle to and from the festival.

The Central Carolina Benefit Coon Club conducts contests at the Saluda School in the afternoon and will hold its annual night hunt Saturday evening.

Obviously the thousands of people that flood into Saluda for this one-day event aren’t all local, but Foster believes the family reunion feel of the festival is what draws them.

For years, his wife’s aunt and her family would fly in from California every year and stay in Saluda for a week or two around the event.

“We plan our vacations around it – this year we’ll leave Sunday for the beach. But we don’t go early because we don’t want to miss the festivities,” Foster said.

“It’s like a family reunion – each year it’s exciting because you never know who you are going to see. It’s also great entertainment for families even if you aren’t from Saluda.”

Polk arrests Wisconsin man for sex offender violation

by Leah Justice

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office arrested a registered sex offender out of Wisconsin last week who purchased a home within 800 feet of Tryon Elementary School without notifying authorities.

Danny Lee Maxey, 55, of 419 Hidden Hill Road, Tryon was arrested and charged with felony sex offender residence violation, according to sheriff reports.

Det. BJ Bayne said Maxey is a registered sex offender out of Wisconsin and he failed to notify Wisconsin authorities that he was moving and failed to notify Polk County authorities that he relocated, which is against the law.

Registered sex offenders are also not allowed to live within 1,000 feet of a school.

Maxey purchased the Hidden Hill Road home on June 5, which is less than 800 feet from Tryon Elementary.

Maxey was released from the Polk County Jail after posting a $10,000 bond and was not allowed to return to the Hidden Hill Road home, according to Bayne. Maxey will also face charges in Wiscon-

sin for not notifying authorities he was relocating.

Registered sex offenders have to folDanny Lee Maxey low strict guidelines and are monitored to ensure they are residing in their registered locations. A registered sex offender must notify the county he/she resides in where they are relocating and is required to notify authorities in the new location that they moved there. Maxey was required to notify Polk County of his relocation within three days of moving.

Maxey is a registered sex offender in Wisconsin due to two separate convictions on possession of child pornography, according to Bayne.

Polk County currently has 22 registered sex offenders, according to the N.C. Department of Justice.

The sex offender registry can be accessed by visiting www.sexoffender.ncdoj.gov.

Changing lives leadership dinner and organic banquet Unity in the Community recently held a successful weekend full of informative, motivational and entertaining events with Rev. Richard Joyner of Conetoe, N.C., as the keynote speaker.

Joyner was the recipient of Rocky Mount’s 2012 Distinguished Citizen of the Year, spearheaded a community garden project and was instrumental in linking a real relationship with food, and one’s physical life, spiritual life and educational life.

Along with the community garden, he initiated weekly education and exercise classes to empower local residents to take charge of their health, which in turn changed the mind-set of the community.

Joyner has passion for developing young people into entrepreneurs and future leaders and began a program that helps at-risk young people in his community as well.

Joyner has been the leader of (Continued on page 15)

the Chaplaincy Program at Nash Health Care since 1979, and as a result of his leadership, recently was awarded the system’s “Extra Mile Award,” which is given to the hospital staff member who has demonstrated exceptional skills in patient satisfaction.

The Changing Lives Leadership Dinner was held on Saturday, June 21 at the G. Riddle Banquet Hall, which included a presentation

by Rev. Joyner and speeches by the Mayor of Asheville Terry Bellamy and Polk County School Curriculum Director Aaron Greene.

A lunch round table discussion was held on Saturday as well with local community leaders focused on the topic of health issues that plague the community and ways to address these issues. Attendees also discussed how we as adults and leaders could motivate, encourage, educate and mold the minds of our youth.

The Changing Lives Organic Banquet was held on Saturday evening with more than 225 people in attendance. The banquet was held at the Cobb Family Life Center with Joyner and Dawn Jordan, Polk County’s interim agricultural economic development director, and local gardener Rob Staley. The meal included meat loaf, roasted beet salad, stuffed eggs, fresh chive and sour cream mashed potatoes, simply stewed squash, sweet potato biscuits with local honey butter and lemon chiffon cake with fresh blueberry. The meal featured fresh, locally grown, organic fruits, vegetables and meat. Chef and dietitian Liz Rose coordinated the dinner with the assistance of other local residents.

The weekend concluded on Sunday, with Rev. Joyner as the guest speaker at the Zion Grove A.M.E. Zion Church. The Polk County Community Foundation funded this weekend of events.

Dr. Ratcliffe slows down after 17 years of service Psychiatrist Robert R. Ratcliffe, MD, was honored recently when he “semi-retired” after 17 years of service as medical director of the St. Luke’s Hospital’s Center of Behavioral Medicine.

During a special luncheon where he was surrounded by staff, friends and family, Dr. Ratcliffe shared smiles and memories of his many years serving Polk County.

Recently he made the decision to slow down, passing the title and the challenges as medical director to his colleague Belynda Veser, MD. Several days later, the board of trustees recognized Dr. Ratcliffe and the staff for outstanding service and attentive care they provide patients who are admitted to the Center of Behavioral Medicine, a safe and comfortable setting for adults ages 55 plus who are suffering with mental health issues. The center has been serving residents of Polk County and across the state since 1996

when Dr. Ratcliffe advocated for improved access and understanding of mental health issues. He was instrumental in the development of St. Luke’s program and through the years, has made sure the Center is a hallmark of mental health care.

During his career, Dr. Ratcliffe made many contributions to the mental health and wellness of Polk County. He served as the staff psychiatrist for the Rutherford-Polk Area Mental Health/Developmental Disabilities/Substance Abuse program from 1997 until the early 2000s. He has served as the Secretary and Treasurer of the Executive Committee of St. Luke’s Hospital, has conducted various workshops in the area of mental health and has received numerous awards and honors. Dr. Ratcliffe has published several research articles during his career in mental health, and in 2011, he was awarded the Norman Boyer Award in recognition of his dedicated service to the care and treatment of people with mental

illness.

Dr. Ratcliffe received a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in English from the University of North Carolina. He received his medical degree from the University of Virginia and completed his residencies at the Medical College of Charleston (now the Medical University of South Carolina) and at the University of North Carolina. He served in the US military during both the Korean and Vietnam Wars.

In his 17 years at St. Luke’s Hospital, Dr. Ratcliffe will always be remembered as a key figure in mental health services for Polk County including bringing geriatric-psychiatric inpatient services for adults age 55 and over.

The St. Luke’s Hospital Center of Behavioral Medicine is a 10-bed facility to diagnose and treat such diseases as Alzheimer’s dementia, depression, manic depression, situational and adjustment problems.

“On behalf of St. Luke’s Hospi-

tal and the people of Polk County, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Ratcliffe for his energy, his integrity, his knowledge and compassion to others who suffer from mental illness,” said Ken Shull, chief executive officer for St. Luke’s Hospital. “He has been a quiet leader working to bring the darkness surrounding mental illness out of the shadows so we all have a better understanding of these diseases.

“He has contributed so much to help individuals and families, law enforcement officers and other health professionals to remove the stigma associated with mental disease and treat patients with dignity and understanding,” Shull said.

“While we certainly don’t blame him for cutting back and slowing down, we are thankful Dr. Ratcliffe has chosen to ‘semi-retire’ so we will continue to benefit from his knowledge and experience.”

Conservation Corner: What gives meaning to our lives?

Since the beginning of time, people have been wondering as to the purpose of life. It’s not like we wake up every morning, wondering why we are here and what we are supposed to be doing, or are we?

Most of us have jobs and responsibilities that somewhat dictate how our days will be spent; and, at the end of the day, we are grateful for having made it through the day without injury. Us lucky folks are able to spend our evenings with family and friends.

I suspect that just about everyone wants, and needs, some sort of positive feedback or reward for our labor. In our culture, the most prevalent reward that we understand is money. A person who has done a good job in his or her chosen career is usually financially successful as well. We look up to people who have done well in business or their profession, with the assumption that that person’s

On Saturday, June 15, Saluda Community Land Trust and the Polk County Community Foundation held a grand opening event at Twin Lakes near Saluda, open to everyone. Friends and families came in groups. Many of the parents and older folk have fond memories of picnics and swimming parties at Twin Lakes years ago. They identify with that particular place because it has always been a safe place, where people come together to play, eat and simply enjoy being outside.

Some donkeys come into our lives for a short time Not every relationship is successful.

And sometimes even the successful ones don’t sound so great, either.

In fact, if you think about marriage, the truly successful ones end in death. It’s the unsuccessful ones that end sometimes in tears, sometimes with celebration, but, in the end, freedom to try, try, again.

That’s where we are with Teddy the donkey.

We’ve always considered our farm a ‘forever home’ to whichever animal we bring in, and after receiving a phone call from my vet a couple of years ago, reporting that an abandoned donk needed a home and, since we had just put down our 40-year-old mini-mule, might we consider a new long-eared companion for our horses? We said we would. The added icing to the cake was that donkeys are known to keep coyotes off the property. With our cats, we thought this would be beneficial as well.

The problem was, as the months barn and it was then that I heard went by, it was evident Teddy, shrieks and howls of distress comwhile affectionate and loving to ing from our beloved 12-year-old people, despised any other animal terrier, Bonnie. Bonnie, with her that happened to wander into his fading hearing and eyesight, had paddock or field. We highly suspect evidently just wandered in beneath he was the cause of death to one cat the fence and never saw him. Running with speed that showed inI didn’t tense trauma and “I’m Just that realize I had, I bruising to her belly as she went Saying…” fled around the corner - pitchinto emergency fork still in hand surgery after findby Pam Stone - just in time to ing her cowering see, thankfully, and in pain.

Since there were no eyewitness- a brown and white blur streak es, I have always argued Teddy’s through the woods to the front case, but, as Paul pointed out, he steps. By the time I got there, she was a ticking time bomb and it was trembling in Paul’s arms, her was just a matter of time before white back covered with the telltale dirt marks of hooves. something awful happened.

Had Bonnie not been so close Last week the bomb went off.

I was in Teddy’s paddock, with to the fence to roll under, I know wheelbarrow and pitchfork, clean- Teddy would have killed her. And ing up his droppings as our donk I would have never, ever, forgiven contentedly munched hay in front myself for having such an aniof his open stall. He moseyed out mal- even an animal bowing to its of view on the other side of the natural instinct- on the property that

could do such a thing.

It has not been easy to rehome our Ted. First of all, he is terrified of thunderstorms, so he must have access to a comfortable stall as well as a responsible owner that will feed and tend to him properly.

And there can be no family pets in danger of being trampled.

But who has a farm with no dogs or cats … or ducks, goats, wild turkeys, squirrels and everything else that’s incurred his wrath?

I turned, finally, to a rescue ranch a couple of hours away – a friend with a wonderful reputation, a ton of acreage, and three other donkeys. A sizable check will go along with Teddy and updates regarding a perfect new home for him when one is found. An added gesture of gratitude is that, in the coming weeks, I will give a benefit performance to help raise needed funds to assist Joe in caring for his other rescues.

Teddy, we wish you well. But Bonnie’s still not talking to you.

Tryon Fine Arts Center hires two summer interns A grant from the Polk County Community Foundation has provided the Tryon Fine Arts Center (TFAC) funds to hire two interns for an eight-week summer internship. The interns, Price Marshall and Kira Jordan, have become part of the TFAC staff and assist with upcoming projects.

Kira Jordan is a rising senior at Thomas Jefferson Classical Academy.

She considers the performing arts to be one of her passions, participating in the drama club at her school. Outside of theater, she is involved in a number of other organizations as well, including the TJCA branches of the Future Business Leaders of America and the National Honor Society, of which she is the president.

Jordan has worked as a senator’s page at the North Carolina General Assembly for Ralph Hise.

In her free time, she also volunteers at the Grace of God Rescue Mis-

sion in Forest City. Jordan also works as a vendor at the Columbus Farmers Market during the summer, where she sells homemade laundry detergent along with other goods. At TFAC, she will work under Jimm Brink as a lighting and sound engineer for upcoming summer productions.

Price Marshall is a rising junior at Polk County High School.

A Tryon local, he also considers theater to be one of his passions, performing in and assisting with a number of local productions. At his school, Marshall is the student body vice president, an officer of the National Honor Society, band captain of the marching band, as well as a member of Key Club and Green Team.

Marshall recently represented Polk County at the Western North Carolina branch of the Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership conference in Winston Salem. Price is currently a member of the cast for

An inconvenience Humane Society Special Cases Leonard Rizzo

She lies on the shelter cot, her face to the wall and as far away from the latch as she can get.

She is a 2-year-old lab mix who is frightened and confused.

She knows animals have been put to sleep here; she can smell it in the air. In her own way she prays, “Please let me be next, anything is better than this.”

Other dogs bark and gates clang as she tries to crawl up inside herself and become invisible.

Kady was brought home as a pup and received the best of care. She’s received all her shots and has been spayed and microchipped. Kady did not have any health or behavioral issues; she was just a family dog who played her roll to the fullest. Kady is an owner turn in and I’ve heard every possible reason why this came to be: a family breakup, a death, moving and can’t take the dog, etc. Friends, family or the people themselves could work things out for the dog’s welfare, but you see, beautiful Kady who has been nurtured from puppy hood, has become an inconvenience.

Throughout our area we have many people and organizations who rescue and foster animals.

I run into them often and I’ll ask “Are you okay?” for they always look frazzled. They’ll ask the same of me and then we’ll laugh.

We know it’s a never-ending battle, still we pledge to do as much as we can for as long as we can. Sometimes we hit what I

Kady

call “The Wall” and still the calls come and the cases arise, thus the frazzled look. We often lean on each other, sharing cases and helping where and when we can.

Charlie’s Angels rescued Kady a month ago and placed her in foster care with two wonderful people, Jan and David Daugherty. Besides working with Charlie’s Angels, Jan has worked with TAAG and FHS and has fostered more than 170 dogs over the years.

On Sunday afternoon I made the trip to visit Jan and David and meet elusive Kady for the first time.

I learned that Kady’s mom was a blue heeler and the combination was striking indeed. Jan’s own two dogs plus John, a foster from FHS, were all over me for attention but Kady kept her distance emitting a not yet bark if I approached. She was great with the other dogs and stayed by Jan’s side while I loved them up.

When David entered the room

and called her, she was all his as he nuzzled her face and called her “sweet girl.” Before my visit was over she did venture behind my chair and allowed me to stroke her as she passed, not looking, mind you. I asked to hold her in my arms but was grateful for the touch. Though Kady was shy I had seen enough to know that she’d make a wonderful companion to anyone who has the patience and understanding to allow her to come around.

Before leaving I gave the Daugherty’s some names to call to get her on the Internet and to perhaps help in finding Kady a forever home. I shook David’s hand, hugged Jan and went out to my car. As I sat in my car I thought to myself, “Somewhere in a shelter there’s a dog huddled in a corner, afraid and confused, not knowing how or why it became an inconvenience.” And I wept!

Thanks for listening.

Phoebe

Green Creek resident raising money for K9 search and rescue training

by Ann Louise Granger

828-859-6356 John & Diane Cash

Like a child playing hideand-seek, Phoebe loves to find her playmates. Only, Phoebe is a 1 and a ½-year-old German shepherd and her game of “hide-and-seek” is a much more serious job.

As a search and rescue dog, Phoebe is learning to find a person using only their scent from a scrap of clothing. She even recently found someone over ½ a mile away in the rain with only a scent article during training, according to handler Michele West of Columbus.

West is currently raising money to attend a seminar in Jackson, Ohio in the fall to further learn what it takes to be a search and rescue dog and handler. West and Phoebe will work on air scent at the beginner level and getting their communication down pat with commands and signals. They hope to move on to an intermediate level while at the seminar.

“If she didn’t like it we

wouldn’t do it,” said West of her “just fantastic dog.”

West said the seminar would give her more knowledge on working with Phoebe as a search and rescue team, and strengthen their bond. It will also help West network with other search and rescue handlers, important since fellow handlers “have a lot of insight and knowledge,” West said.

West is a volunteer fire fighter but wanted to help out her community even more. She wants to help safely recover lost children and Alzheimer patients in the events of Amber or Silver alerts and will do this on a solely voluntary basis, not receiving payment.

It will take $365, however, to attend the seminar (which includes classes, lodging and food) and about $200 extra to pay for gas for the round trip to Ohio and back. Donations are tax deductible. While West currently has no (Continued on page 29)

Consider these things when choosing a home stair lift Dear Savvy Senior, My wife is having an increasingly difficult time going up and down the stairs in our house.

We are interested in purchasing a stair lift, but aren’t sure what to get or where to look. Can you help us?

- Need a Lift Dear Need, A good home stair lift is a wonderful solution for seniors with mobility issues who have trouble with steps. A stair lift will carry your wife up and down the stairs in a safe seated position, giving her easy access to the second story or basement level of your home. But with so many options available how do you choose one that best meets your needs and budget. Here are a few shopping tips along with some good companies that offer them.

Types of lifts There are two basic types of stair lifts that are sold today: straight and curved. The type you need will depend upon the design of your staircase.

A straight stair lift is one that travels in a straight line up a flight of stairs uninterrupted by landings, bends or curves, and costs between $3,000 and $5,000 installed. Curved lifts, however, are much more elaborate and will go around corners, bends and changes in direction. Curved lifts are also much more expensive typically running between $10,000 and $15,000 or more depending on the complexity of the installation.

fundraisers planned, she hopes to attend the Columbus Heritage Festival early this fall for a meet and greet with Phoebe.

Canine Search and Recovery Inc. (CSAR) will hold the seminar. Their purpose, as stated on their website, is “to provide training, networking and education for search dog handlers and to promote the increased use of

Also available through certain companies are weatherproof lifts for outdoor steps, and standing stair lifts (also called perch lifts) for those who have trouble bending their knees.

You also need to know that all stair lifts mount to the stair treads, not to the wall, so they are very sturdy and can be installed in almost any home.

If your wife is a large person, you may need to get her a heavy-duty lift with a wider seat and bigger lifting capacity – all companies offer them. Or, if she’s tall, find out about raising the seat height during installation.

Most stair lifts available today also have seats, armrests and footplates that fold up out of the way, and swivel seats that make getting into and out of the chair easier. They also come with standard safety features like seatbelts, breaking systems and footrest sensors, push-button or rockerswitch controls located on the armrest for easy operation, and “call send� controls which allow you to call or send the unit to the other end of the stairs. Make sure the lift you choose has all these features.

Depending on the company, you may also have the option of choosing between an electric (AC) and a battery powered (DC) stair lift. Battery powered units charge at the base station (some recharge anywhere on the track)

are quieter, smoother and better than electric lifts, and will work even if there’s a power failure in the home.

Where to shop While there are many companies that make, sell and install stair lifts, the most respected in the industry are Bruno (bruno. com, 866-345-7537) and Stannah (stannahstairlifts.com, 800877-8247), followed by Harmar (harmar.com, 800-833-0478) and Sterling (handicare.com, 866276-5438).

Unfortunately, Medicare does not cover stair lifts, but many states offer Medicaid waivers that will pay for lifts to those that qualify, and the VA offers cash grants to veterans with disabilities for home safety improvements.

To save some money, you may want to consider purchasing a used or refurbished model. Or, if you need a stair lift for only a short period of time, consider renting one. Most companies offer these options, and many offer financing programs too.

To get started, contact some stair lift companies who will put you in touch with a dealer in your area. All dealers provide free inhome assessments and estimates, and can help you choose an appropriate lift.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, Okla. 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior� book.

search dogs in all aspects of detection.� The seminar will have courses in trailing, area search, land cadaver and water cadaver on the levels beginner, intermediate and advanced. West and Phoebe will focus on air scent (or area search) and plan to start training in land cadaver when they have mastered air scent.

West and Phoebe are both enthusiastic about helping the community with search and rescue. “Phoebe’s a big ball of en-

ergy, and she loves search and rescue,� West said.

After the seminar, West hopes to get search and rescue certification for Phoebe and herself.

Meeting the search and rescue duo only serves to prove how energetic and passionate they are about what they are training to do.

Donation boxes for West and Phoebe are set up at First Mountain Bank and Trust and also at Bank of America.
