owbrook Farm Homeowners Association, just outside Columbus, said the subdivision raised the money, paid the participation fee and were told the $1,200 tap fee would be the all time low. He said the expiration date of the $1,200 tap fee was May 1. “Shortly thereafter the county dropped the fee to $700,” Bole said, “which makes us look silly almost before the ink is dry.” He said the feeling going around the neighborhood is “mad as hell.” “We feel used, we feel abused and we feel this commission should offer us some sort of rebate,” Bole said. Paul Brondell also spoke at the meeting and said he felt pressure to tap onto the system at the time because if he paid $1,200 then it would save him money later because the tap fee would go back to $1,500 after construction. He said he had to scrape money together in order to take advantage of what they were offered. “Now I’m irritated that the county commission has lowered that fee to $700,” Brondell said. “It’s not right.” He said if he had known that at the time, he would have gladly waited and paid $700 instead. Brondell then asked commissioners for a rebate. Commissioners approved a $1,353,491.59 bid on June 17 to

extend its waterline from Peniel Road in Green Creek to the Hwy. 9 crossroads in Mill Spring. Along with that decision commissioners decided to offer a discount on tap fees (for a ¾ inch tap) for anyone in the county that could tap onto the county’s water system. The $700 tap fee includes no participation fees and is valid from July 1 through the end of the year. The regular tap fee during construction of a waterline is $1,200 and $1,500 all other times. The Meadowbrook waterline extension was done when the county connected its waterline to the Town of Columbus along Hwy. 108. There were 10 residences within Meadowbrook who paid a tap fee, with Bole purchasing two taps for a total of $2,400. The county paid $35,245 out of its fund balance and another $6,546 out of its water fund capital reserves to connect Meadowbrook to the water system. Meadowbrook also paid $27,860 for its participation in the line as part of the county’s waterline policy for water line extensions. Customers pay 40 percent of the extension and the county pays 60 percent, if the waterline is not a main trunk line. Potential customers whose property is along a main trunk line do not have to pay a participation fee, only a tap fee. Polk County Commissioner Chair Michael Gage said he feels for residents of Meadow(Continued on page 6)

brook but the county cannot give a refund. He said this discount was given in an effort to grow the county’s water system. He said he was not aware of Meadowbrook’s May 1 deadline when commissioners voted to give the discount. “I do feel for those people,” Gage said. “I’d be upset too, but you have to have a start and stop date for everything. We can’t go back and refund money because we would have to refund everybody.” He said he’s not changing his mind on the decision to give a refund because the county has to build its water system. The county needs 1,000 customers before it can move forward with constructing a water plant and start using water from Lake Adger, which the county now owns as a future water source. Polk currently has 102 water customers, including 77 who are Polk County South customers, administered by Inman-Campobell Water District (ICWD) and 25 customers that currently receive water from the county’s well system in Mill Spring. There are a total of 177 taps installed in the county, meaning 100 residents received taps for the system but are not yet customers receiving water from ICWD. Once the Peniel Road to

Friday, July 19, 2013

Hwy. 108 waterline is constructed the Mill Spring well system customers will be customers of Polk County South as well. ICWD runs Polk County’s water system that began with a waterline that connected the Broad River Water Authority (BRWA) to ICWD through Polk County in Green Creek. Polk owns the line at no cost and is able to extend lines from that source. Polk County Commissioner Ray Gasperson said after hearing the Meadowbrook speakers he thinks the county should take a strong look at residents’ concerns over the discount. Gasperson voted for the $700 tap fee in June but said in retrospect commissioners should have had more discussion prior to approving it. He says there should be some restitution for people who’ve paid, especially for those who were told the $1,200 tap fee was the lowest tap fee that the county would ever see. Gasperson said no one discussed lowering the tap fees prior to the June 17 meeting with him and he failed to note during the vote that the discount also included deleting participation fees throughout the county. “Extending it to anywhere with no participation fee,” Gasperson said, “that was the mistake that happened.” Gasperson has placed the tap fees on the county’s Aug. 5 agenda to discuss what the county should do.

In one emergency flames from a car fire transferred to a second car and started burning the house.

He said in a second incident a stove inside a home exploded with pieces of the store landing on a sofa where they smoldered.

BOC meeting

To the editor: When I read the July 15 News Briefs of the Polk County Board of Commissioners meeting, two items regarding volunteer boards caught my attention. Reviewing the boards, what they do and how they do their jobs is probably something that could be useful. I am sure there are some that need updating for procedures, overlap and some that are not necessary anymore. Then I next read that the one applicant to be an alternate on the county zoning board of appeals was not acted on. Mr. Gage feels he’d like to see more than one applicant for the position. I wondered if I should laugh or cry. Why would Mr. Preston White’s service not be acceptable? Wrong party? Wrong friends? Wrong whatever? The Columbus Planning and Zoning Board of Adjustments has been looking for members since the original board was dismissed and it was discovered the replacements were not readily available. Not surprising it turned out the people were very leery of volunteering their time and effort only to be unceremoniously dumped. It would be exciting if anyone was interested in volunteering for any of our local

PCHS softball contributes five All-State players; seven All-District by Mark Schmerling

Another set of commendations proves just how good Polk County High School’s varsity softball program was this past season. Seven players from the 2013 team received All-District honors, with five of those chosen for All-State. The Wolverines, this past spring, were 18-5 (including head coach Jeff Wilson’s 300th win since being named as head coach in 1996), following up a 21-4 mark last year. This year’s All-District honorees are Maddy Foy, Katie Ruff, Brittany Jones, Shalyn Brown, Amber Lynch, Ashley Kropp and Hayley Kropp. Of those seven, only Ruff and Lynch were not selected for All-State, though Wilson can’t understand why. Senior Katie Ruff pitched her team to 17 wins, against just four losses, while hitting a respectable .262. Lynch, another senior, batted .400. Only 40 players from AA schools received All-State honors. More than 12 percent of those are from Polk. Only AllDistrict recipients are considered for All-State honors. “I’m ecstatic,” said Wilson, “as head coach, to have so many girls honored. I’m so proud of that. I know how hard these girls have worked. We need to recognize that.” As a sophomore splitting her time between second base and the outfield, Maddy Foy also hit .322. “Maddy Foy has the type of

focus you dream of as a coach,” said Wilson. “Maddy has the ‘it’ factor. “She brings ‘it’ every day – running, sprinting, diving. She’s used to winning, and expects to win.” Freshman Hayley Kropp hit .365. In addition to making All-State, both Kropp and Foy made the North Carolina State Games from District 8. At one point during this past season Hayley Kropp reached base 17 consecutive times. “She has a lot of offensive abilities,” said Wilson. In 2012, Polk boasted two All-State winners, Alyssa Montgomery and Jamie Hrobak. Hrobak was a two-time district pitcher of the year. Montgomery was four-time all-state.

Jason Fox award presented to Darius “DJ” Twitty Robert Jason Fox, best known as Jason, was a native of Tryon. He attended The Polk County School System from kindergarten into high school, and was a member of the first freshman class to attend the new Polk County High School in Columbus when it opened in the fall of 1992. Early in his sophomore year – 1993 – Fox was diagnosed with leukemia and was obliged to withdraw from school for treatment. Fox passed away early in 1994. During the short time he was a high school student, Fox earned the respect and affection of his teachers and his peers. He was a likable young man, a serious student, a good athlete, responsibly fun-loving with a good sense of humor and a reputation for integrity and good citizenship. Fox was an outstanding role model for every student; he was

also a glowing example of the importance of supportive, loving parents. To honor the memory of Fox, an anonymous donor has established a special award to be given each year to a male sophomore student whose personal qualities are as exemplary as Fox’s. This year, the award was presented to Darius Twitty. The award consists of a citation, designed by the respected artist, Julia Williams, and a Fox-head pin designed by the renowned sculptor, William Behrends, cast in sterling silver, symbolizing Fox’s character.

A woman proud of her man’s skills Every woman’s got to have the opportunity to have braggin’ rites on her man, every now and then. While I’ve chronicled his deft ability in the kitchen, making from scratch, rustic tomato tarts and Portobello pot pie, Paul can also build and hang a gate, if I need one, has his own wine cellar (a window unit stuck into a cedar-lined closet in the shack behind the barn) and, at my prodding, picked up enough basic skills as a rider to allow me to realize a dream of us galloping along the sea of the Dingle Peninsula, in southern Ireland, shortly after we met. Like anyone, he’s not without flaws: he snores like a fog horn, feigns ignorance that bed sheets and towels need to be changed weekly for the sake of hygiene and let’s just skip the obligatory toilet seat jokes ... but most importantly, Paul has a focus and work ethic that makes migrant workers look lazy. And the latest result was somewhat breathtaking.

Small town Saluda: where you can still borrow a can opener Sometimes, when a bird cries out, Or the wind sweeps through a tree, Or a dog howls in a far off farm, I hold still and listen a long time. My soul turns and goes back to the place Where, a thousand forgotten years ago, The bird and the blowing wind Were like me, and were my brothers. My soul turns into a tree, And an animal, and a cloud bank. Then changed and odd it comes home And asks me questions. What should I reply? ~ Hermann Hesse Back in the old days, it was the custom for neighbors to stop by to borrow things: a cup of sugar, a tool, an egg or two. Now, in Saluda, that custom still is around: that’s what makes Saluda special. Even if people don’t know you and are just visiting, they find themselves joining right in. The doorbell chimed one Saturday afternoon (I know you readers think I must have one heck of a busy front porch after all the tales regaling what happens out there.) It was a gentleman, who explained he was staying at the Saluda Inn for a reunion weekend: his wife, who was with other womenfolk doing kitchen duty, had sent him forth to come back with a working can opener. Now, folks, you would have thought he’d asked to borrow my toothbrush! Horrified, I wondered just how dirty my can opener was. “Wait here,” I said to the unsuspecting man: shoving a barking River dog back inside. “I’ll be right back.” Rooting through kitchen utensils, I found a manual opener. Being it hadn’t been used in quite a while, it needed a bit of cleaning and polishing off. I bagged it up and hurried back to the door. Thanking me profusely, the man lit off on foot back

Fall Fest at the Landrum Library featuring five outdoor performances The Landrum Library had a great response to the music performances on the outdoor stage last year, so staff and supporters wanted to continue the fun this year by having the library’s first Fall Fest. Fall Fest this year will feature five outdoor performances. The event will include some returning groups and some new sounds. These performances are sponsored by Spartanburg County Libraries, Landrum Friends of the Library and a private donor. All the performances are great for all ages, but the series will start off this year with a special back-to-school event for families. Tom Fisch, a performing songwriter, will entertain all ages with his warm vocals and outstanding songwriting, which combines folk and country sounds. Brushfire Stankgrass from

Asheville will return with their unique sound of bluegrass with jazz, jam, reggae and rock. The crowds loved their modern mountain music that has become a regional favorite. Brushfire performances this year have ranged from all over North Carolina to Colorado, Georgia, Tennessee and South Carolina. Another popular favorite returning this year is the East Tennessee State University Pride Band. These students studying at East Tennessee State give a lively performance of old time and blue grass music that has the audience tapping and clapping. New to the library lineup this year will be the sounds of the Wilhelm Brothers and the John Henrys, both Asheville-based groups. The Wilhelm Brothers – indie folk rock – is a fulltime professional group based in

Asheville. Their sound combines the singer/ songwriter talents of Chris Wilhelm with the sonic beauty and skill of cellist Cristof Ensslin. Their sound emphasizes love of a good story delivered in song and employs folk, roots and indie influences. The music is infectious and insightful. The John Henrys will entertain the audience with their lively and rowdy jazz sounds. This will present a fun night of jazz for all. The performance schedule is as follows: To m F i s c h - Tu e s d a y, Aug. 13 at 6 p.m. Brushfire Stankgrass Thursday, Aug. 29 at 7 p.m. ETSU Pride Band – Thursday, Sept. 5 at 7 p.m. The John Henrys – Thursday, Sept. 12 at 7 p.m. The Wilhelm Brothers – Thursday, Sept. 19 at 7 p.m. Join library supporters and

Myths of exercise: The ones to do and ones not to do Through the years I’ve received innumerable fitness and nutrition questions. In my industry, there’s not a lack of information, but too much. And much is false or misleading at best. Today I’d like to dispel some popular exercise myths and tell you why they aren’t true. Myth 1. Lifting weights (particularly if you’re a woman) will make you bulk up. I was once lead trainer to L.H. Fields modeling agency. Among the models I trained were five who traveled all over the world. Each one of these models would tell you they worked strenuously in the weight room. Adding extra muscle size requires a specific type of lifting, but even with that, women don’t have necessary levels of the male hormone, testosterone to add much muscle size. Myth 2. You should train abdominal muscles every day. I get this one a lot. Abs like

every other skeletal muscle, need not turn into muscle, but if you rest to tone and tighten. I had a stop working out, muscle can’t friend once who one day decided turn into fat. Some folks believe he was going to get in shape. He this, because once not exercising, started running five miles most muscle that’s not toned will tend every day and worked out in to sag and fat can accumulate on the weight room, but he said his top of muscles. Myth 4. You can spot reduce. abs were still loose and flabby. I asked about his routine, and he Doing arm, leg or abdominal exercises to take fat said he worked Diet & Exercise off those areas, his abs every by David Crocker won’t work. day, because There’s only that’s what he’d heard. I told him to work them no one way to lose fat. It dissolves in your blood stream, then travels more than three days a week. In just a few weeks he told to your liver where it is metabome that for the first time his abs lized or burned for energy. When you lose body fat, you lose the were firm. Myth 3. Exercise turns fat into same percentage of fat all over, so muscle. Muscles are made up of areas where you have the highest cells called muscle fibers. These accumulation of fat are the areas cells are tube-like structures that you see it come off last. Myth 5. It’s always best to run the long length of muscles. Adipocytes or fat cells, are spheres exercise in the morning or cercontaining lipids. Also, muscle is tain times of day.

and full of energy in the morning, while others are substandard till afternoon. Train when you feel your best. Myth 6. Working out with weights will only build muscle: it won’t help lose fat. This myth is huge, because muscle is active tissue. In order for muscle to stay healthy, nutrients must cross muscle cell membranes and that takes energy. For every ounce of muscle you gain, your body burns extra calories 24 hours a day, that’s right, even while you sleep. Myth 7. If you never exercised when you were young, it’s dangerous to start when you’re older. I’ve even had clients begin exercise at the age of 90.

Tij D’oyen as ‘Willy Wonka,’ July 18-21 Well, it’s not exactly Tij D’oyen’s “Willy Wonka” – that honor goes to Roald Dahl who wrote the wonderful book “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”- but D’oyen has certainly taken ownership of the role for the Tryon Little Theater/Youth Center’s summer production playing at the Tryon Fine Arts Center this weekend. A recent graduate of Thomas Jefferson Classical Academy, D’oyen is now a rising freshman at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts an accomplishment in itself, since only 28 students are accepted into the drama program. “I’ve always been an active member of the drama program at Thomas Jefferson and I love the theater because no matter how big or small the role that you’re playing, you have a chance to let people forget about their problems and feel something else – whether it’s joy or sorrow or elation. It’s an unbelievable feeling to be on stage and every time the excitement takes me by surprise. “I’m really attached to this role because of the challenge I’ve been faced with. When preparing for this role and discussing the character with my director, we both made it quite clear that we didn’t want to simply copy the Gene Wilder or the Johnny Depp ‘Wonka’. So it was my task, with immense help from Jenna, to find my ‘Wonka’ and make the character my own and not simply a mimicry of the

well-known renditions of the character.” Audiences will get the chance to decide for themselves if they enjoy D’oyen’s characterization of “Willy Wonka,” but if past roles he’s worked on are anything to go by, there’s a very good chance that this performance will be magical. Directed by Jenna Tamisiea, with musical direction by Hank Hinant, “Willy Wonka” runs Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Tryon Fine Arts Center, and 3 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets can be purchased at TLT’s Workshop, 516 S. Trade

Summertime heat poses special risks to seniors Backyard Oasis

Dear Savvy Senior, Can you write a column alerting seniors to the dangers of summertime heat? I manage a number of urgent care clinics, and last summer we had more than 200 cases of heat-related illnesses, most of who were seniors. I would like to reduce that this year. ~ Concerned Citizen Dear Concerned, I certainly can. Most people don’t realize that extreme summer heat causes thousands of heat-related illnesses in the U.S. each year, and kills more people than hurricanes, lightning, tornadoes, floods and earthquakes combined. Unfortunately, seniors are among the most vulnerable. The body’s ability to regulate temperature through blood circulation and sweat glands tends to decline with age. Bodies of older adults also contain far less water than a younger person, and older brains don’t recognize thirst as easily, making them more likely to get dehydrated. In addition, many seniors have certain health problems that can increase their risk of hyperthermia (when the body overheats). These include: • Underlying diseases like congestive heart failure, diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD. • Trouble walking or moving around. • Being overweight. • Having dementia or other problems with thinking skills. Medications that some seniors take, like diuretics and other high blood pressure drugs, can also cause dehydration or affect the ability of their heart, blood vessels or sweat glands to respond to the heat. Signs of danger Heat stroke is the most serious heat-related illness. The signs to watch for include a body tempera-

ture above 103 degrees Fahrenheit, a rapid pulse rate, throbbing headache, dizziness, nausea, confusion and hot, dry skin with the absence of sweating. If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, call 911 immediately because heat stroke is a medical emergency. Heat exhaustion is milder and can develop after several days of exposure to high temperatures. The warning signs are heavy sweating, paleness, muscle cramps, tiredness, weakness, fainting, dizziness, headache and nausea or vomiting. What to do If you think you may be suffering from a heat-related condition, cool yourself down by going indoors into air conditioning, remove or loosen any tight-fitting or heavy clothing, drink plenty of water (but avoid alcohol and caffeine), take a cool bath or shower, or apply cold water, ice packs or cold compresses to your skin. When you do go out in the heat, be sure to dress in lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing, avoid extended periods of sun exposure and drink plenty of water even if you don’t feel thirsty. Seniors who live without air conditioning should go to public places that have it like shopping malls, senior centers or public libraries. Your local health department can also refer you to an airconditioned shelter in your area. For those who can’t afford to run their air conditioning at home, there’s the federal Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), along with many utility companies and charitable organizations that may be able to help you with your utility costs. To find out about the programs available to you, along with their eligibility requirements and how to apply, call the National Energy Assistance Referral project at 866-674-6327

Marjorie Phillips stands in front of the new ice machine that she recently donated to Hospice House of the Carolina Foothills, where it has been placed on the patient wing for easy access to both patients and family. The machine was given in memory of her late husband, Chet Phillips, who was a resident at the house during his final days. “Because of the generosity of donors like Mrs. Phillips, we can direct our dollars to patient care rather than replacement of appliances and other things that are used by our patients and their families every day. And for that we are truly thankful,” said CEO, Jean Eckert. (photo submitted by Marsh VanHecke)
