Polk considers future of Park Street land by Leah Justice

Polk County commissioners are considering what to do with land the county owns on Park Street in Columbus that was originally purchased to construct the new department of social services (DSS) building. Commissioners met July 8 and heard from commissioner Tom Pack who placed the discussion on the agenda. Pack said the

land was purchased during the 2008-2009 fiscal year for the DSS building. He said a later board of commissioners decided to construct the DSS building at its current location in Mill Spring. “So we have this property and no use for it,” Pack said. “I’d like to take action at the next meeting.” (Continued on page 6)

New County Polk Board of Elections members sworn in by Leah Justice

Polk County officially has a new board of elections as three new members were sworn in during the board’s first meeting Tuesday, July 16. New members are Sharon Goettert, David Moore and Scott Woodworth. The board appointed Moore as its new chairman. The new board was appointed this year with a switch in political majority. Moore and Woodworth are registered republicans and Goettert a registered democrat. Board appointments are made after the Polk County Democrat and Republican parties recommend nominees to the state committees who make recommendations to the state board of elections. The new board replaces the former board of elections consisting of Becky Kennedy (D), Judy Arledge (D) and George Comparetto (R).

$50,000 Main Street grant assists with St. Luke’s Plaza project by Samantha Hurst

A $50,000 Main Street Solution Fund (MSSF) grant bolstered progress this week on the St. Luke’s Plaza project in Tryon. Tryon Tourism and Business Development Coordinator Crys Armbrust said the town received official word Tuesday, July 16 that it would receive the funds that didn’t become available until April of this year. “I thought the state would have done everything in its power to reappropriate those monies, par-

ticularly in the economic climate we’re in,” Armbrust said. “It’s essential, particularly in rural areas, to have such a sum of grant monies designated particularly for small towns.” The grant is awarded through the NC Dept. of Commerce. This marks a total of $200,000 awarded to Tryon through the MSSF program. Tryon received $150,000 for work on the Depot plaza, located just above N. Trade Street, in March 2012. That grant program requires

private/public matches. For the Depot Plaza project a contribution of $525,000 from Dr. John Hooker, for the construction of his new offices, met the private match requirement, while Bill Lane’s more than $307,940 contribution for the St. Luke’s Plaza building satisfies the public portion of this new grant. Armbrust said both private contributions to the projects substantially exceeded the estimated costs. In all, Tryon private investors have contributed $4.16 to every

$1 the state has put into these projects. “That certainly caused the state to stand up and take notice of what was going on in our very small 1,700-person community wherein we have accomplished projects that much larger metropolitan areas have not done,” Armbrust said. “It demonstrates a willingness in a community for citizens to come together with town government to accomplish needful projects; projects that spur economic growth.” The monies in this $50,000 grant are specifically designated for infrastructure Department of Transportation such as NC (DOT) standard curb and gutter, asphalt, sidewalks, brick concrete inclusions, landscaping, utilities consolidation and limited softscape (benches, tables, chairs, etc.). How do such elements spur economic growth? According to Armbrust, a city’s first impression to visitors holds a lot of value. He said many people make that impression on their first drive through downtown. “It is the face of Tryon; it is the first thing that creates an individual’s impression of what our community is about,” Armbrust said. “They can infer much from the care that we as residents in this community take to put forth our very best face.” Armbrust said the spinoff from these grants is the ability to build investor confidence, build a better business environment both aesthetically and commercially, and leverage additional grant funds. He said the town has been able to utilize this recent application for an upcoming Polk County Community Foundation cycle to facilitate work on the Maple Street pedestrian pads and crosswalk that serve as connectors from St. Luke’s Plaza to Owen’s Pharmacy. “So the public is being well served through the generosity not only of local citizens, who have a passion for our community, but our tax dollars coming back to us and creating a better operative business environment and social environment,” Armbrust said.

Brewster Thornton Cornwell, 87, of Mount Pleasant, S.C., died Tuesday, July 16, 2013. Brewster was born on April 9, 1926 in Purcellville, Va., the son of Jacob Lynn Cornwell and Nan Brewster. He attended Lincoln High School, Fishburne Military Academy, Randolph Macon College and graduated from The College of William and Mary in 1948. With his brother, Lynn, he took over the operation of the family abattoir in Purcellville. In

The two-acre parcel is located on Park Street between Country Bear Day School and Gibson Pool and Park. The county purchased the property in 2009 for $95,000. Later, the county decided the county-owned property at the middle school/recreation complex in Mill Spring was better suited for the new DSS building, which was constructed there and opened in December 2011. During the July 8 meeting, Pack suggested the Park Street property be sold with the money going to the economic tourism and development commission (ETDC) towards a business park for the county. County attorney Jana Berg said the county could declare the property surplus then open it up for bids and do an upset bid process. Commissioner Ray Gasperson said looking around Columbus it’s hard to find property that’s for sale. “Even though this is surplus now, let’s really think about this,” Gasperson said.

his spare time, he became known as a champion golfer. He moved to Tryon, N.C. in 1979, where he met his wife, Cindy, and worked as a real estate developer. He and Cindy moved to Seabrook Island in 1997, where he was an avid tennis player and masterful gardener. They moved to Franke at Seaside in September 2012. He is survived by his loving wife, Cindy, of 27 years; his brother, J. Lynn Cornwell Jr. of Middleburg, Va.; his son, Craig, and wife, Sandra Hough, of Lexington, Ky.; son, Kevin, and wife, Tracy, of Wyckoff, N.J.; and grandchildren, Wesley and Graham Hough-Cornwell and his wife, Judy, and Lindsay, Chandler and Kendall Cornwell. There will be a private burial service in Hillsboro, Va. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Seabrook Island Green Space Conservancy, P.O. Box 185, Johns Island, S.C. 29457-0185.

Gage asked Gasperson what he sees located at the Park Street property. Gasperson said he’s always seen the county transportation department located there. Interim county manager Marche Pittman said the county may want to consider offering the property to the ETDC instead of the cash of a sale. “They may have a use for the property,” said Pittman. “It may not be viable but I would like to give that option.” Commissioners agreed to give the ETDC options on what to do with the property. The ETDC has not yet discussed its options for the Park Street property. The ETDC meets again on July 31. Commissioners have also recently granted the ETDC money made from selling the JerveyPalmer building in Tryon, which used to house DSS and other county offices. The county sold the property for $50,000 and gave the EDTC the more than $49,000 profit (after closing costs) in order to plan an industrial park in the county to attract businesses.

today we hear celebrities, sports figures and successful business personalities talking about ‘giving back’ to their communities and the world. their generosity usually follows a realization that they have received much from the people who watch their movies, pull for their teams or buy their products. and therefore some at least feel an obligation or desire to help out with a favorite charity, a need personal to them or in a time of local or global crisis. a recent example is Kevin durant’s gen-

erous gift following the oklahoma tornado disasters. i applaud and appreciate such generosity and pray many more people with the means to do so would find a place to help. there is much goodwill afforded to the ones who make such commitments. for those of us who follow Jesus you could say we ‘give back’ as well. however for the committed Christian there is really no choice, no option and no other way of living for we have been called to serve. though our faith is the begin(continued on page 9)

Jamie Cehlar, DPT, physical therapist with St. Luke’s Hospital’s Outpatient Rehabilitation, recently obtained specialized intensive training in vestibular rehabilitation through Emory University, a leader in vestibular rehabilitation research. She attended training, thanks to a grant from the Polk County Community Foundation, with 166 other students from around the world. This evidenced-based program has enhanced therapists’ skills in vestibular deficits, gait and balance, fall risk, and the functional assessment of patients. With a large population of elderly patients in Polk County and the surrounding areas, balance, dizziness and related falls are a major concern at St. Luke’s. “Attendance at this training has enabled St. Luke’s physical therapy department to build upon our existing balance program and enhance it to include vestibular conditions,” McDermott said. “This training will enable St. Luke’s to offer an entirely new service to the community.

Tennis camp in Landrum features coaching legend Kriese by Mark Schmerling

Championship tennis players no longer spring from country clubs. They often hail from more rural areas like Polk County and the upstate of South Carolina, according to Cary Davenport. As organizer of the Carolina Junior Tennis Clinics, Davenport is putting his energy where his philosophy is. These yearround clinics, are designed to produce winning players. In addition, Davenport has secured a separate July 21-26 clinic at O.P. Earle Elementary School in Landrum, headed by college coaching and teaching legend Chuck Kriese. The clinic is open to boys and girls age seven through 17. Registration and other details are available at totaltennistraining.com, or by calling 304-4766518. This is part of Kriese’s Total Tennis Training program. Kriese has coached five Junior Grand Slam champions, and was a prolifically successful head men’s tennis coach at Clemson University for 33 years. During that time, Kriese became the all-time most winning tennis coach in Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) history, with 685 wins. His teams also earned 10 ACC championships. From 1980-82, Kriese also served as the USA National Coach. “We’re talking the Nick Saban (head football coach at the University of Alabama) of tennis here,” remarked Davenport. “You can’t get a higher pedigree than that.”

Davenport said he and Kriese met in Charleston. Kriese told him that he could build champions here. Why? Because, said Davenport, “They (young tennis players in areas like this) work hard. They don’t feel as privileged.” Besides Kriese, instructors will include five college coaches and two college stars. One of the latter is Nestor Vargas, who plays No. 1 at West Alabama University. Another is Edgar Rodriguez, who played on the professional tour for two years. Rodriguez was once ranked 65th in the world as a junior at Wimbledon, where he reached the junior quarterfinals. Rodriguez received a full scholarship to the University of South Carolina Upstate, where he plays as No. 1. Kriese’s clinic will include five full days of training and a student/instructor ratio of four to one. Kriese is present with students all day, every day. Participants will be broken into four groups: Challenger, for beginning tennis players; Aces, for those who have already participated in some competitive tennis; Champions, for serious tournament players looking to take their game to the next level, possibly to college play; and Elite, for a handful of the most skilled participants, who will be selected for an exclusive level of rigorous training. “It’s open to anyone,” Dave-

nort said of the clinic. “We’ve got kids coming from all over.” Davenport’s own Carolina Junior Tennis Clinics offer similar training, but for ages 4 through 18, and throughout the year at O.P. Earle Elementary, New Prospect Elementary School in Inman, and several private facilities. It offers the following programs: beginners, advanced beginners, academy and high performance. Davenport’s sports competition began early – when he was 5 or 6. He played hard at both swimming and tennis. When Davenport was in his teens, he was coached by Jerry Evert, father of former World No. 1 tennis pro Chris Evert. “I’ve had some outstanding coaches,” said Davenport. Possibly as a result, “I decided at an early age I enjoyed coaching very much.” Along the way, Davenport, who lives in Campobello, became a member of the U.S. Professional Tennis Association. During that time, he and his wife owned tennis clubs in Chicago, to which they brought in top players including Billie Jean King and Arthur Ashe. Davenport has 40 years’ experience in teaching and training athletes. Both Vargas and Rodriguez

teach at the Carolina Junior Tennis Clinics, as well. “I get them (students) up to a certain level,” says Davenort, who says that Rodriguez and Vargas take them the rest of the way.

To register for Carolina Junior Tennis Clinics, call Davenport at 864-415-8715, visit www.carolinajunior tennis. com, or e-mail davenportcb@ windstream.net.

Come in on a bright and hot sunny day and you will notice a change at the Polk County Public Library in Columbus. With a generous donation by the Friends of the Polk County Public Library, the library staff can say that they have their “shades on.” The windows inside the library now support a cost effective film that helps in reducing glare along with heat and electricity cost. The Friends of Library, a non-profit organization who sponsors lobby book sales and bi-annual book sales, along with other programming support, gave the funds to cover this project. Those at the library immediately began to see positive results. “We are very grateful to have such wonderful support from the Friends of the Library, they are a blessing to the library and the community,” said Director Cindy Nanney. To learn more about the library and the Friends of the Library organization, visit www.polklibrary.org or call 828-894-8721. – article submitted by Cindy Nanney

• Healthcare (continued from page 16)

It is estimated that less than four percent of all businesses will be newly impacted by the need to provide health coverage. However, some companies have been cutting hours and keeping employees below the 30 hour per week threshold, limiting their future health insurance costs by limiting the number of employees considered full-time. On July 2, the Obama Administration announced that the enforcement of penalties for not complying with the mandate would be delayed another year, until 2015. The delay in the penalty appears to be in response to an outcry from employers asking for more time to navigate the complex requirements and to respond in implementation. So while the mandate for employers to provide coverage still exists in 2014, there is no penalty for not doing so. Postponed too are the penalties for not providing health care that meets PPACA’s definition of quality. However, in preparation for the mandate, most carriers had already responded by eliminating these noncompliant plans from their menu. Employers will still be forced to choose from higher cost, compliant plans because the market no longer has the less robust options available. Further, employers will not be required to report data that was to be used to double check availability of affordable group coverage and employee wages for those applying for individual subsidies in the marketplaces. While the employer penalty is delayed, the individual mandate to purchase health insurance is still on track for Jan. 1, 2014 and still imposes penalties for those who don’t. Inevitably, some employers who have been offering coverage may quit doing so, forcing their employees to flee to the individual market and joining those applying for a subsidy to offset ever-rising individual premiums. Without the employer reporting requirement in place, those applying for individual medical coverage will be allowed to self-report salaries to

determine subsidy eligibility. While the federal government has said they will randomly sample enrollment in states where the federal marketplace is operating, this entitlement program will be operated primarily on the honor system until January 2015. In dollars, the effect of delaying the employer mandate is clear. Five billion dollars was expected as federal income from employers found to be out of compliance with the mandate. This income would have helped offset some of the 28 billion expected to be spent on individual subsidies in 2014.

Plates to Pixels at SAM through Aug. 31 Plates to Pixels is an exhibit of select photographs taken from Spartanburg native Ben Nixon’s own extensive collection. It is a unique perspective on the history of photography, dating from the 1860s, when photos were painstakingly made with glass plates coated in various chemical concoctions, to today, when most photos are digitally taken with smart phones. The 60-plus photos, most of which were taken by noted professional photographers, will be exhibited in Spartanburg Art Museum at Chapman Cultural Center, July 10 through August 31. The museum is open Tuesday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sundays, 1-5 p.m. There is no admission fee. Among the photographers who have work in this exhibit are Brit Samuel Bourne, Frenchmen Jacques Henri Lartique and Elliot Erwitt and Americans Edward Curtis, Jerry Uelsmann and Ansel Adams. Nixon, a fine art photographer who is currently relocating from San Francisco to Asheville, started collecting in 2003. The exhibit spans the early history of photography from the 1860s to the present day. It includes examples of most printing processes used throughout the medium: tintype, albumen, photogravure, platinum, silver gelatin, c-print and pigment. During the course of the exhibit, several special events are planned. On Thursday, July 18 (ArtWalk), there will be a public reception, 5-9 p.m. At 6:30 p.m., Nixon will give a brief lecture to give attendees special insight into the exhibit. On Sunday, Aug. 4, 2-4:30 p.m. Nixon will host an “Urban Photography Workshop.” Participants will walk through downtown Spartanburg, taking photographs at Nixon’s direction. On Thursday, Aug. 15 (ArtWalk), there will be second public reception with Nixon lecturing at 6:30 p.m. And on Friday, Aug. 16, a Lunch & Learn lecture will be presented, starting at noon.
